ABOUT

“Going critical” is the point at which a nuclear reactor can maintain a fission reaction, thereby releasing energy to create electricity needed to power our world.

“Going Critical” is a website dedicated to nuclear history and its relationship to human culture. Welcome! Here you will find various writings on nuclear history and related books, film and TV, museums and historic sites, current events, and more.

Professionally, I work as a public historian sharing stories about the history of uranium production and the nuclear weapons complex.
