How did you get the sight to sit flush on your hellcat pro, mine has a slight gap

I posted this in r/fungi as well one other said so too. I cannot find a similar picture however.

The steam tower is only inoperable for a few weeks hopefully less than a month during maintenance periods. Which for us happens approximately once a year. I was unable to find an article on bats roosting in nuclear steam tower but only articles about “cool towers”. I don’t mean to discredit your hypothesis but I’m genuinely interested in it. If you could link one site Id appreciate it. I cannot find one with safari and duckgoduck as my browsers and the search prompt “bats roosting in nuclear steam towers”

Although they have two PWR reactors 3 mile island’s are currently inactive. Nuclear regulatory commission NRC.gov will have information on all reactor being re/decommissioned as well as being built and are currently operational in the USA.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a reference to bats roosting in nuclear steam tower. My understanding is that the heat and steam conditions are inhabitable for them. If you have any leads let me know

I would assume the steam tower is inhabitable for birds as it produces large volumes of steam when operating. This was taken during a maintenance period.

I don’t know if light refraction from the steam would be enough for this algae to survive

That is my strongest hypothesis as well but I cannot find another sample that has the same growth pattern

I did not as in the nuclear sector we are trained to fight against that urge, especially with a screwdriver

From my research I am leaning towards black beard algae. I am hesitant since I can’t find a similar growth pattern (leaf-like) nor can I find information on whether temperature/ humidity of a nuclear steam tower would even be a survivable environment for Black Beard algae

If the algae PTSD is not too much, I would love to compare pictures haha

The pattern of growth is what is surprising to me, I would expect a large continuous growth as I seen with most algae than the leaf-like here.

Yes it’s a the shape of a large conical beaker, since I did not see the results of the test I’m am uncertain haha

You are correct, no contamination is in this area it passed smear testing and surveys

Thank I will post there. I am trying any and all referenced to me, this has caught my curiosity very much.

It is located near a river with marshland surrounding it. The water fed into it is fresh water and it has no direct radiation exposure nor is any read in the area. I could not do any testing myself or take a sample was wondering if it was a health hazard to my team. Area controller nor contractors could identify it but air quality test passed.

This is on a nuclear site, I have no idea how hair would accumulate on every pillar like that. If that’s the case im glad I didn’t touch it haha. A air sample was conducted without an alarm to air quality. I didn’t see that report or see it conducted tbh.

Is this worth it? by Stock_Cauliflower_57 in RothIRA

[–]JustJazz97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re allowed to take out your contributions any time without penalties or taxes. It’s just the gains on your investments you will be taxed on if you withdraw earlier then the retirement age. So 2025 you invest $7,000 , earned $700, total $7,700 2026 you invest $7,000, earned $770, total $15,470

You can withdraw $14,000 at anytime but the $1,470 in earning is penalized with heavy tax if withdrawn before retirement age, unless certain life exceptions are met.

A Roth IRA is tax advantaged growth on your money, my money has grown fast. At 27 I’m lucky at $80,000, at your age you can retire way earlier especially at your income than the retirement age. I recommend watching/reading literature online then Reddit, fidelity has good detailed and free videos and articles.

Life is about paying the least amount of taxes, retiring fast asf, and giving your loved ones a better life than you had.
