  • So you may have seen a video of a block of carbon from the world's first nuclear reactor, which was given to our minister of science when he and I visited the Argon National Lab in Chicago.

  • Well, a few days after the video, a box has arrived from the Argon National Lab, and I thought, I mean by open it together and see what's inside yet I got a nice pen and the minister got this block and I I suggested on the video that perhaps the minister should give the block to me.

  • And although he hasn't yet asked for it back, I haven't been given it.

  • So let's see what's in the box.

  • It says on the label that it is a memento from the director of the lab, so I'm quite excited that it might be something interesting will be real happening.

  • If I cut myself on screen, we could do another video on blood ever the professional that you do it.

  • I read the story a letter from somebody who said he started chemistry because this chemistry teacher had an explosion with sodium, was covered with blood and still took out a piece of litmus paper and put it in the water and said, Look, it's alkaline.

  • So inside is a smaller box.

  • There's some quite interesting packing material here could be recycled inside.

  • Tiff is the white folks looks quite like the minister's white books.

  • So let's open it.

  • Maur packing.

  • And wow, uh, it's a block like the minister's.

  • This is a block of graphite from the world's first nuclear reactor that started on the second of December 1942 in Chicago under the sports field.

  • So it's really nice.

  • I'm delighted.

  • So you're gonna give the minister's back so I shall give the minister's back.

  • So I think this is absolutely great on DDE.
