I dont recall working with a larger group of radiation experts over the years, than from the Pittsburgh area. Refuelers, RCP crews, S/G's, and all the rest. This project will be a peace of cake.

 Having worked at NRC regulated facilities, DOE regulated projects and Army corps of engineer's projects I have found differences that would not necessarily make power plant experience a good fit. Demolition and remediation involve characterization not needed in power plants and discover issues that are not part of established facilities. Also, I suspect that the power plant people would remain in in their lanes for the most part.

Another failed satirical attempt on my part. Although the mentioned groups were damn good at what they did, they were the poster dudes for the need to have RPTs around.

I guess it's an annual story until the 2nd cleanup actually starts.  Maybe they'll find the treasure trove of HEU this time that was supposedly there and not found in the first site cleanup.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apollo_Affair
Maybe it was found and secretly hauled away! or it's more of today's drivel.
