Professor Andrew Kadak builds a "power plant" of Legos to demonstrate the modular approach to constructing a pebble-bed nuclear plant. Each Lego brick represents a module containing specified plant components. The modules can be made in factories with high quality control, transported to a site, and assembled Lego-like into a power plant.
