"I always wanted more nuke plants. I had the opportunity of sitting on the edge of a TRIGA bathtub uranium reactor and seeing the Cerenkov radiation with my own eyes as it lit up the core."

Ditto that. My experience was at U. of Texas (Austin). Cool "nuclear flash bulb".

U of Ill. for me. :-)

Wow. That sounds like a great experience. As long as the Cerenkov radiation wasn't originating within your eyeball.

I Googled "TRIGA reactor" The elevation diagram of the reactor housing bears an uncanny resemblance to the nuclear reactor in the Bat Cave of the 1960's "Batman" show.
