Any good virtual reality simulations?

I think nuclear power is pretty neat, and just want to know if there is a vr simulation so that I can try to run one

Get a pressure cooker. Find metal balls like ball bearings, tungsten fishing weights, etc. Heat them up with a blow torch until they're a good 1,000 degrees or so. Drop them in the pressure cooker with just water in it so it boils. Take a temperature sensor on a wire - with the sensor in the pot and the readout in another room. Do the same with a pressure sensor from the pot to the other room. Close the pressure cooker. Sit in that room and stare at the readouts for 12 hours.

Would that fuck the pressure cooker?

They should already have one so it doesn't blow up. Reactor pressure vessels have those too. Just rated for a much higher pressure.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure any simulation will be inaccurate or incredibly boring
