Avaliable from...?

[wlrun3@aol.com]

this is still in paper....if enough interest is shown i'll use one of the self publishing companies and publish...it costs me $20 a copy for a spiral bound...it's popular at the plants and i usually make twenty copies at a time...i mail those copies...the bartlett office apparently likes them and uses them as a desk reference...let me know...

The Bunny has a point, to a point, but to get to the real point...

Having seen the book in question, it is a good read for those who haven't been everywhere and done everything.  wlrun3 has done his research, and while I have seen alot while being in this business, I did learn a few things that I didn't know, and for that I thank him for letting me see the book.  I would buy it, and if your listening, Bill, send me a copy.

[Creeker]

Wlrun.. Sign me up for a copy!

This is great information!  Its put togeather well.  The instrument section and the math section really explains it better than I have ever seen.  Good job Bill and everyone needing help for the NUF should get a copy.   

[Rennhack]

We could always post the PDF version here, if you want Wlrun3.

   I'ld love to Mike. Thankyou for asking but life problems, and you've had your share over the years, has left me with nothing but the paper color original. I'm sending you a copy Monday along with the dozen or so others I'll be sending to folks that have recently requested a copy.
  I leave Cook tonight and start Dresden for 4x84 hrs/wk on Wednesday. After that I'll attempt to get my act together, scan, edit, rewrite and hopefully donate to Nukeworker in PDF if you think it's worth the space.
  By the way, I counted four Nukeworker bumber stickers on I-80 on my way from Hanford to Cook. Congratulations.

The bumper sticker thing is cool!

I can always scan the hard copy you send me into pdf, and send it to you.

I didn't see any bumper stickers in the Shop section, where can they be purchased??

[Rennhack]

Well, we have NukeWorker stickers... that people put on their bumpers....  but no official rectangular sticker.

I do have a lot of the 'New NukeWorker Guy' stickers, but I haven't taken pictures of them, or added them to the online store.  I am out of the old orange stickers.  If you order the old ones, you will get the new ones.

Would it be kosher to freelance a Nukeworker.com sticker oneself?

You bet.  As long as it's not for profit.

I shall observe the 57th Rule of Acquisition!

57th Rule: "Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treausre them." ("Armageddon Game" [DS9])

How does that relate here?  I like the 76th RoA, but 285th RoA is probably the one I quote the most.

It was precisely the obtuse nature of it, that caused you to look it up!

Turns out there is a book about it, which I just got for my Kindle.

[Rennhack]

Which revison of #285?

"No good deed ever goes unpunished."

- or -

"A good deed is its own reward."

That one.

Bad Rennhack, bad!

I apologize to all who expected a copy of "American Nuclear Power Plants" in the mail. A serious family emergency has put this project on hold.

As it should.  I have no doubt it will be worth the wait, and nobody will worry about that wait.
