Welcome to the Science Mondays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Science Mondays will feature stuff from the world of science and science related content. Our goal here at Geek Alabama is to hopefully have you learn something useful and fulfilling. Science is a geek’s best friend, and we love featuring science content here at Geek Alabama.

In February 2025 I got to visit Terrapower, a self-proclaimed nuclear innovation company.

Here in part two, we will explore and explain what will be the first next-generation nuclear reactor to operate in the United States.
