Character Information

An unnamed Nuclear Physics professor was, as the the name implies, the Nuclear Physics professor for Springfield University. Given his accent, he is presumably of German origin. Homer had to take his class after mysteriously causing a Meltdown in a simulation van with absolutely no Nuclear material onboard after Mr. Burns's attempts at bribing or otherwise getting rid of the Nuclear Safety Inspectors failed. He has apparently taught the class for at least a year prior, as he said that there are a few new faces at the class, but as he jokingly says, "Out with the old, in with the Nucleus." (everyone but Homer got the joke, which is a pun on Nucleus and the phrase "Out with the old, in with the new."). However, he does have a slight bit of unintended clumsiness, as he accidentally dropped his cue cards during class. He also explained that, while not absolutely necessary, it is advised that anyone who does stay take a extended review on the subject. One day, he was explaining about how a Nuclear Reactor works, only for Homer to arrogantly blow him off, resulting in him volunteering to make it work, causing a meltdown in the university and resulting in Homer being required to take tutoring courses from Gary, Ed, and Benjamin.
