In France, one day every year (les journées de l'énergie EDF) you can go visit nuclear power plants: you'll get access to the control-room simulator (where my wife used to work, BTW) and even visit the “machine room” where the turbines are. This is a very cool visit, which I deeply recommend if you are into this kind of things. (Idk if it's open to foreign visitors though, likely yes for EU citizens, but other nations seems a bit less likely but not completely impossible given you don't get to see any sensitive stuff).
