Ever since I saw Chernobyl, and ever since I heard about the Oppenheimer movie, I've been bitten by the nuclear bug.
It's very fascinating stuff. I find non-fiction and real-world science and physics to be more interesting than science fiction.
This is an interesting story, the story of 'The Demon Core'.
It was to be the third atomic bomb dropped on Japan, but they surrendered before it was used.
So then some physicists decided to play with it.

@SteppinRazor You should do a search for an ep of Stuff you Missed In History Class (podcast) about the Demon Core. It was really interesting.
Also, I'm in STL, we have a rather checkered history about nuclear things. Google the Weldon Springs Interpretive Center info.
@kismatt I'll take a look!
