• Explain the concept of Fission chain reaction

• Controlled and uncontrolled fission; explain difference between bomb and reactor

• The life of a neutron (what can happen to a neutron from its creation until reaction)-no need to review in detail, but address other possibilities for neutrons besides causing fission.

• Discuss the possibility that other types of explosions can occur (steam explosions, similar to other plants)
