Outages / Re: coronavirus

Of course!!

Very few workers at the plant right now because they "scrubbed" the work schedule. HRA/LHRA briefs are held in a fairly large room and workers can keep their distance quite easily. Thankfully we are 1 of 2 plants (so I've read) who do not have an outage this year.

Security, FFD / Re: Saliva test for cannabis could someday help identify impaired drivers

that size thing is onerous,....

Not sure why it did this but I had started the post in Nuke News and decided it should be in FFD instead so I did a cut and paste. Live, learn, and proofread before and after post.

Navy Nuke / NUPOC Interviews Topics/Things to know

« Last post by iwall56 on Yesterday at 12:48 PM »

I am about to finish my Freshman year of college. I am a biochemistry major and I have A's in GenChem 1 & 2, Physics 2, and Calc 1. I have a B+ (only due to my professor refusing to round my grade 1/100 of a point) However, I will most likely have a C in Calc 2. That said, I am not strong with integrals that aren't basic. This leads tomy question, how complicated are the integrals given in interviews. This may be a dumb question but I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Also, what are the major topics in physics that I should study. Obviously, its best to know everything but what topics are especially important to focus on.
Lastly, what are some things those who have been through the interview process wish they had known going in.
Thanks in advance.

Security, FFD / Re: Saliva test for cannabis could someday help identify impaired drivers

Could this impact FFD in the future if you live in a state where marijuana is a legal recreational drug this would allow testing for impairment which is not available now.

Nuke News / Re: Chernobyl radiation levels spike as forest fires rage

« Last post by GLW on Yesterday at 10:18 AM »

"....the maximum allowable amount of natural background radiation is 0.5 μSv/h, the emergency services said, but Firsov's reported amount was nearly five times that."


so when "nature" exceeds 0.5, who gets the violation?
