 * Virtual Field Trip**

Let's get started! Pick your seat on the bus and find some interesting reading on the first link below! Each student should use their own computer, but feel free to share interesting facts and ideas with your neighbors and friends. Nuclear Tour http://www.dom.com/about/stations/nuclear/nuctour.html This website is full of great information and animations explaining a nuclear power plant and how it all works. Take your time here, there is a lot to learn. OK! Did you learn enough at the first link to run your own nuclear power plant? Now's the time to find out. The next link simulates the control room of an actual nuclear power plant. Let's see if you can use the controls and prevent a meltdown! Nuclear Power Plant Simulation [|http://www.ida.liu.se/%7Eher/npp/demo.html] Try to run your own nuclear power plant without a meltdown! Let's do some world traveling! This next site allows us to look at nuclear power plants not only across the United States, but around the world. (You may want to skip Japan, because we will be going there later.) Just make sure you're back before the bus leaves for the next stop! Joseph Gonyeau's Nuclear Power Plant Virtual Tours http://www.nucleartourist.com/ Spotlights nuclear power plants from around the world. It's time to hop a plane and fly to Japan to check out its nuclear power! Find similarities and differences between nuclear power in Japan and other areas of the world. Don't worry, you'll find that the language barrier will be minimum at this stop! Japan's Nuclear Power Program http://www.japannuclear.com/nuclearpower/program/location.html Get virtual tours of nuclear power plants in Japan. Let's come back to the States and visit Texas A&M University to see what they have to say to wrap up our trip. Nuclear Power Center at Texas A&M University http://nsc.tamu.edu/tours/see.html Take a tour of the nuclear power plant and learn the basics of nuclear power!
 * Nuclear Chemistry**
 * A web-based activity for high school Chemistry students.**

And now for the stop on our field trip that is closest to home...The Susquehana Steam Electric Plant. Find out everything there is to know about the nuclear power plant that matters most to us! [|http://www.pplweb.com/ppl generation/ppl susquehanna.htm]
