It should be fairly self-evident that this category is for educating about nuclear and particle physics, from a physics teacher's or student's point of view. Educational materials of all types are welcome, especially those which explain this somewhat opaque subject in a clear way.
Sites related to 'issues' surrounding nuclear energy should probably be put in 'Society/Issues.'

resources for teachers and students; links to a more technical GAT fusion site
Tutorial with 28 color illustrations and photographs.
The site "allows students and teachers to participate remotely in scientific research at [America's] largest fusion energy laboratory." Requires Java-capable browser and Shockwave plug-in to be able to use the excellent educational modules. Also has an "ask the expert" forum for fusion-related questions.
Overviews the principles of nuclear fission and its use to generate power, why uranium can be fissioned, n/p ratio and delayed neutrons, moderators, also Chernobyl and 3-Mile Island.
Java applet of a basic nuclear power plant. Try to keep the reactor running safely under various failure scenarios.
A simulation for Mac and Windows 95/98/NT that allows even beginning students to experience what real particle physics experiments are like. Demo versions available for download.
