This is a transcription of Stephen R. Berggren's Apple Nuclear Power Plant simulation from Creative Computing Magazine, December 1980, pp. 128-137, accessed 2014-10-27 at: https://archive.org/details/creativecomputing-1980-12 It can be run using Joshua Bell's Applesoft BASIC in Javascript emulator at: http://www.calormen.com/jsbasic/ or from https://github.com/inexorabletash/jsbasic (The simulation's BASIC source is complete and correct modulo a couple apparent typos in the original listing, which I have fixed.) There is also an evidently-working Python port which attempts to preserve as much of the BASIC program's structure and appearance as possible, while bringing such innovations as longer and more descriptive variable names. My goal here was largely to make the math used in the simulation easier to understand. Eventually I will write an idiomatic Python port, but it's probably not happening today.
