The prisoners were the last hard-core remnants of Mau Mau terrorism. Each had taken the bloody oaths to kill, each had killed; many were sullen and confused men warped by their savagery. For all of them it was to be another day of digging on an irrigation ditch. Suddenly, as if by prearrangement, dozens of the prisoners fell to the ground, refusing to work...
...comparatively simple chemical process. If the reactor is made right, it "breeds," i.e., it makes more plutonium than it burns U-235. Used as fuel in turn, the new-made plutonium breeds even faster, making good nuclear fuel out of a blanket of inert uranium surrounding the reacting core. This breeding process is exciting to nuclear engineers because U-235 is scarce (only 0.7% of natural uranium) and will always be expensive. Plutonium made from U-238 may prove much cheaper...

At the core of the seminar would be a freshman "thesis." Speaking to the last point, Nash noted that freshmen already face a plethora of term papers...
