I have another big kids' plant question. If you can answer it, how is the material condition of those plants? If you have to be vague, could you compare it to, maybe, NNPP plants of similar ages? I've seen:
ex SAM RAYBURN -- keel laid '63
USS ENTERPRISE -- keel laid '58
USS LOUISVILLE -- keel laid '85
NR-1 -- keel laid mid sixties (activated in '69, so I'll call it a '70s plant, giving me the last five decades)
USS VIRGINIA -- keel laid '99
Now that I think about it, the material condition of all the NNPP plants I've seen is pretty good if not amazing for its age(some of the equipment may have a unique "personality," but otherwise...). Does it work the same in the big kids' world? You know, nothing looks too shiny and new, but not much looks too old (except, maybe, computer stuff) ?
