Catchy Nuclear Songs

What do you get when you put a bunch of nuclear scientists together for a conference? Well -- either you get one very boring conference or somebody tries to liven things up. That's what happened back in 2002 when the American Nuclear Society held a contest for sing-a-long songs dealing with nuclear technology.

I know what you're thinking -- surely everybody knows dozens of sing-a-long nuclear songs - but alas, it was tough sledding.
