    That felt slightly like cheating 😀

    But congrats.

    Computers? On a nuclear power plant? Luxury.

    We controlled the rods with a switch & some motors. No computing of any kind involved, except for calculators that we could use to determine the amount of criticality we were generating.

    I hesitate to say computers controlled things. There was a rudimentary feedback system through the computers, which we picked up and stored and then xfered back through PCs to operators. They still had dials and gauges, but we could summarize most of the time. I think all control rod up/down movement was still done through manual controls.

    Oh, well that's OK then.

    Still beats what the poor guys on SL-1 had to do... til they messed up.

    Well there was great excitement and anticipation for the 14,000 and when it got close the posts slowed to a crawl. So I thought, well, get it over and done with and it was a bit like a 'damp squib' 🙁

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • SL-1 was brave, some big, shiny (now) glowing, brass ones on those guys.

    I went in the reactor containment once and was nervous the entire time. I feel more confident now, but something about invisible waves pelting your body that makes you nervous.

    Oh, you little girl.:-D

    When we were in the yards we had to go into the reactor compartment all the time. The only time it ever bothered me was when I vented a valve cap, nothing came out, so I figured it was clear, but when I removed it water from the reactor dumped all over my boots. I was more than a little nervous walking up to the check-out station, but whatever the water was, it was all but completely clean.

    Still, every once in a while, sitting directly on top of the reactor, you couldn't help but wonder about the future of your kids. Luckily, that third eye is proving useful.

  • I just played HIPAA police on a posting!!!

    How can you work within healthcare and either not know about HIPAA or use common sense with regards to live data?!?

    I think this person could very well be reprimanded (or possibly even fired) for what (s)he just posted.

    You know you're now obligated to report it to HIPAA too.

    Man, you got lucky. And those navy reactor compartments are pretty tight... they put those vent valves in some nearly inaccessible places. I remember doing one upside down...

    Deleted the data and image.

  • OK, I'm a girl. That's OK. I think I got a crick in my neck from looking down at the rad meter every 3.6sec while in there.

    I think I'd be better now, having learned a bit more about reactors and radiation.

    Ha! I've done those upside down ones too. Laying backwards across pipes... I'd say fun times, but I honestly hated it. Memorable times.

    Truth be told, I'd be more nervous now, not being a stupid 20 year old kid any more.

    Hmmm ..., you know Grant, when we met I did really wonder about that third arm of yours. Felt it might be rude to say anything though ... :alien:

    I actually don't remember ever being told (how to do) that. (Actually, now that I think about it, I do remember being told I should report it; I just don't know how.

    Just for my future reference, how would I report it?
