Well how about I tell you the stories I can tell, for free?
I have to go get a car battery replaced, but when I come back, I'll share a few tales.
Sometimes, I would stare into the Reactor Compartment through the glass (there's a large-ish - around 6" - 8" if I recall correctly) porthole that allows you to look right into the reactor compartment at the nuclear reactor. I never stared for long... maybe 5-10 seconds at most, but staring at nuclear fission occurring is truly an awesome experience.
There's no Cherenkov radiation emitted, so you're just staring through glass at a bunch of metal, but you still know its occurring... and that was enough for me.
