Can verify: she slept with another player before he broke up with her.

*you don’t need a degree to be an operator at a nuc power plant- they accept nuclear navy exp instead. Almost every other position does.*

I don’t think it’s a legitimate statement. The little motor on there probably only draws a few amps. A single nuc makes 1000s of MW / hr

Most of the pics are of test reactors- small, not any REAL runtime on them =less radiation. Also depends how deep you dive. Surface- days...

I live roughly a mile from my plant- it is in my backyard. I wouldn't put my family there if I wasn't 1000% confident in its safety

No- just been extremely busy lately

SRO- in control room.... so yea - bit of a difference

Every 5th week is nothing but training and being tested on our knowledge. Failure could mean up to loss of licenses etc

Watching, testing safety systems, performing maintenance, training for emergencies, hanging isolations so others can do work, monitoring...

Not at all, reactor rooms typically have boundaries and barriers up to ensure minimal exposure to radiation.

No- disabling systems causes a TON of alarms, they would never be able to do it with no one else knowing

It's not Uranium that your waiting to decay- its its daughter products after fission- look up fission yield curve

Flattered to be even slightly considered in their league... but no.

Hadn't planned to- moisture separator reheaters aren't that complicated- nor are they unique to Nuclear power

We have regulations as to how much we can heat up the water from its normal temperature

Technically anytime a reactor is raising power it is supercritical. If it is lowering- subcritical. Maintaining- critical

I work for a plant in NC. Contractors are never SROs

Possibly tomorrow if I have time. No promises tho.

There wouldn't be. I may have been mistaken however, 30% came from a peer paper i saw when the deal was being made. Never followed up on it

Fuel pool level

North of that after bonus's and overtime

I actually really like the idea. I just don't have that much info on the subject.

Yes- they shut down all of their reactors to be overhauled after Fukushima

I could make a whole post on this topic. Starters- size, power, safety systems, intended use, overall design, enrichment...

Spent fuel is not the reason we monitor for radiation- we monitor ACTIVE nuclear plants!

Also the energy needed- when a neutron is absorbed to cause a split of the nucleus

It has to do with the fission curve, how many daughter byproducts and free neutrons are released in a reaction

So pure it is actually harmful to drink- although admiral Rickover drank some before congress to prove it was safe
