A couple of commercial questions

[UncaBuffalo]

Without asking for all of the pros and cons of staying in or getting out, would the current economic situation still make it "panic re-enlisting" for a guy to re-up now?

How is the nuclear industry fairing in this "financial meltdown"?  Are any companies slowing down how many new people they hire?  Any companies laying people off?

I heard that Exelon laid off 500 people.  And we (Entergy) just imposed a hiring freeze...even though there are about 650 open positions in the fleet.

Yes but our layoffs were nothing to due with the generation or delivery side of the house. The exelon layoffs involved things like HR and other similar departments. Many of them involved merging redundant positions in an effort to better streamline the business, and all made economical sense. We are still hiring.

...If you are an operator, you will not calculate ECP's...

Not true.
