One small problem.  When I was working for the Nuclear Engineering
Department at Penn State, we ran several of the faculty through the TMI
program.  None of them could keep the plant running without eventually
melting down.

I have a hypercard stack that teaches the theory behind and simulates an
experiment in which the operator brings a core to critical conditions.
(Critical condition in a reactor is when power is steady, neither rising
nor falling.)  I would be willing to send you a copy if you will try it out
and give me feedback.
