Subject: mbski loves this
although it is an older movie, I show this to my high school chemistry students and have never heard a single complaint in 17 years. The Disney characters are sweet and the explanations are right on. It does give a positive spin on nuclear power. I am so excited to have found this on the web so I don't have to get it from my education video center at their convenience.
