In case you missed it last night, click here for video from the first round of last night's episode of Jeopardy!, which contained a category on nuclear energy.
UPDATE: Here's a breakdown of the questions and answers (or is it answers and questions?):
$200 A boiling water reactor produces this vapor inside the reactor vessel to generate power. What is steam?
$400 These slender tubes holding fissionable materials are bundled together and loaded into the core. What are [fuel] rods?
$600 It may be a person who slows down two debaters, or a substance that slows down neutrons to permit fission. What is a moderator?
$800 Entergy Corp. says that the Indian Point plant’s containment structures are this material, 3 ½’ to 6’ thick. What is concrete?
$1,000 In the photo here, everything is working normally as these two towers do their jobs. What are cooling towers?
