Blue, I know your profile picture.  I think I know you from the Stennis.

I'm a Navy Nuke and I'd like to ask one of the Civilian guys a question.  Specifically the one's who were talking smack (in a funny way) about our plants. 

Uh...as if we "civilians" hadn't operated P-type and the nuclear Navy before you arrived (or were born?)  >:(

Ah yes you do.  I was a dirty piper mechanic.

My comment was directed to some discussion several pages back about using a nnpp as a startup source.  Just poking fun back.  No animosity at all from this side.

As ridiculously easy as it was to operate a NNPP plant, I have to admit, it was a ton of fun. Purposely putting the plant through transients and casualties.... eh I am being sentimental. Now I have to pretend. :) Someone here once said commercial plants are like big ol freight trains while NNPP plants are like Ferrari's. I now know just how true that is.  ;D

So, I'm gonna post this in three places because something has happened which has not happened since nukeworker.com was launched on the internet,...

An operating license has been granted to a commercial nuclear power plant in the US of A.

So, here's a quick set of numbers to let sink in,....
