Is this true of what an EM does?

The replies in this thread are absolutely hilarious.

Butttt, back to reality, I THINK what they are trying to tell you is.... EVERYONE CLEANS
EM- Maintain electrical equipment, switchboards, circuit breakers, motors, generators etc etc
ET- Sit in air conditioned room and play magic the gathering in free time, but really are the REACTOR OPERATORS they sit at the little panel and mess everything up and then the EM's and MM's have to figure out what they did and fix it.
MM- Maintain pumps, valves, take samples from the plant (ELT) , club each other with hammers

That's interesting, I have distinct memories regarding electricians having to be reminded to parallel in phase/match voltages/not drop buses by the Reactor Operator.  Let's also not forget that on submarines RC Div qualifies E Div's watches as well as their own, so we can essentially do their job.

The VA class was designed to only have a single ET as PPO. It's required that two sit at the station, though.

Backup is never a bad thing.  We went to KAPL for some training on new equipment and got to see some other maneuvering designs, the VA class is pretty impressive.

Does that mean no electrical panel or throttles station??

I guess without compromising NNPI I can say: Kinda?

Maybe guys who work at NR can give more info on why there have to be two operators. When we were shown the maneuvering area, the guys working the design end were visibly disappointed at the decision to not man the station as intended.

Also, EMs aren't authorized to operate the throttles on S9Gs.
