Nuclear Contraband

[fueldryer]

I am whining?  You are always doing the importance comparison thing.  However, I agree with one aspect of this post.  "Whatever."

In regards to your earlier post of what did I do before cell phones.  I used the pay phone on site, dialed area code 555 1212 and asked for the person's phone number.  Then I deposited another quarter and got connected.

A query for you.  What did you do before Direct Deposit?

Before direct deposit,I cashed my check at the bank like most people did/still do.When direct deposit came to be,well gee Biff, I signed up for it.My bank and maybe your's too allows me to check my deposit status 24 for hours aday,that's right "24" hours aday.That way I'm not distracted at work worrying about the little things.My employer hasn't burned me yet.(I'm a very trusting person)

Question: What’s the difference between a Nuclear Worker and a Puppy? Any guesses?

A puppy can't make a fist, a nuclear worker can't lick himself.

Now that is funny

back on the topic or go open another thread.  the subject is nuclear contraband, the item discussed was cell phone situation.  if posts stay within the boundary of the contraband issue, i.e. items that are normal in society but not in the "nuclear realm", then they can continue on this thread.  otherwise start another thread.   
thank you for your attention.

Okay, the company has rules so I say abide by them. If it says no camera phones then you either buy a non camera phone or leave it at home. I use a Nokia phone that has all the bells and whistles I need and it came free from Cingular. Anything it can't do I really don't need asap.

I look at it this way, if the rule says no weapons allowed but I can carry either a pen knife, tool knife etc as long as the blade is under 2 inches; then I need to leave the machete and Bowie at home and carry the ole Buck knife that fits into my pocket. Rules are rules and if I want to play or work then I need to abide by them whether I agree or not.

It might be a good idea to check about recent updates to security policy. For example, Indian Point just lifted the ban on camera phones.

Now here's an OBSERVATION, My wife's LG Chocolate phone has a camera, but the lens is only visible when the phone is open.

Whoever brought up the GPS thing has a good point, that's a little scary too. Anyone ever check out Google Earth and look at the sites they have worked at?

Cute Melrose, but the answer is: Eventually the puppy will stop the wining.

Yes thatll pass if youre at a plant thats a little lax in their inspections.  I've been to several plants that when they see the phone in your bag after the xray they take a look at it to check whether or not its a camera phone.   That was entergy south and progress I believe may be more theyre all just somewhat blending togeather in my mind at this time of night.

[retired nuke]

The Entergy plants recently changed to allow camera capable cell phones, if this helps.  That would be Fitzpatrick, ANO, Indian Point, Pilgrim, River Bend, Grand Gulf, Waterford 3, Palisades and Cooper.

Yo, what is VY - chopped liver??   

[Shawnee Man]

Kewaunee doesn't allow camera phones either. I think it might be a Dominion policy as well.

[stuartmj]

As an instructor for Dominion, I can verify that.  Dominion's policy is no camera phones.  This applies to Kewaunee, North Anna, Surry, and Millstone.

That is the entire purpose of this thread.  I'm just trying to be legal and comfortable simultaneously.

Yeah and my momma always told me when I wanted something outragous that people in hell want icewater.

Why don't we all just get camera phones with 2gig memory cards for our down loads and we'll have everything covered.  I'll be hip just like my teenage daughter.  Do they use "hip"

Besides I was going to ask a guard in the courtyard the other night on shift about camera cell phones inside the PA at Watts Bar but he was talking on his verizon chocolate, answered my question.

Remember some places its "do as I say not as I do"  you are in their house afterall.
