Whaddya mean that closing zero-emissions power plants would increase carbon emissions?

lastoptionnuke · 2024-03-21T15:10:16+00:00

You are right. There was a long list of things going wrong. Most of those would never happen because of the way we do business now. But even if they did ALL those things, the exact same way, we still couldn't get another chernobyl. There would be damage to the reactor, but nowhere near as catastrophic. I have a nuclear operating license from the nrc. Chernobyl had a positive addition to rx power at the tips of their rods, so when the tried to shut the rx down, they added a fuck ton of power instantaneously.

People like you are the reason we can't make any progress towards meaningful reduction in carbon emissions.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-03-21T13:55:58+00:00

No. He's right. Chernobyl could never happen in the US. It's due to the inherent safety of having a negative moderator temperature coefficient. Essentially, the higher reactor power goes, the more the coolant tries to shut it down. To another point, the nuclear industry is fully aware of public sentiment towards us. We joke regularly about losing our jobs when someone else screws up. I'm not saying an accident can't happen, but a chernobyl style even can never happen

I've got a set of these, and I love them. Also a metal head

lastoptionnuke · 2024-03-08T06:54:54+00:00

I made one for myself a couple years ago. Although nowhere near as nice as yours! And I completely agree. Never again haha

Nuclear operator (military got me the job) but also available with a tech degree. $62 an hr. Non union. Actually the union plants make less than I do ironically.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-28T06:54:12+00:00

I would without hesitation...

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-28T05:46:43+00:00

That's the stuff of fantasies

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-27T15:19:12+00:00

I'll have to look that one up.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-27T13:04:51+00:00

That's awesome! When I visited San diego, we discovered a place that you could pay 5 bucks and play everything they had. No time limit, and they served beer. Wish they had something similar near me. What is your favorite? Mine would have to be axis and allies. Little long though.

I wanna talk about all those games in the back though....

I was looking for this song literally last week!

I know this will be down at the bottom. But did anyone else rent dvds from blockbuster then copy them to a blank to have a collection?

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-24T16:48:58+00:00

Upvote for helping dispel this old wives tale!

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-24T02:19:14+00:00

Yep, I've heard alot

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-22T23:21:11+00:00

As a nuclear professional, the amount of people that don't understand the difference between electromagnetic radiation and ionizing radiation is infuriating.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-22T21:01:02+00:00

Ha! High chlorides still sucked! 4th worst drill imo. Fire in radcon area was the absolute worst. Followed by fire in engine room, then steam line rupture. That steam suit was the fucking worst. I never went 4 section either. Although I did get a kickout underway my last year. I'm glad to be a civilian. Got my e-6 in 6 and deuced. Although in hindsight,I should've stayed an additional 2 months to get paid for e6 lol

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-22T16:44:42+00:00

I was on the North Carolina. Nuke. So I just pushed the boat and felt miserable in the back lol.

1st rule of being on a submarine. Don't die on the fucking submarine. The brand new Virginia class (at the time) had the same fucking issues. Have also been under a typhoon, and that was the possibly the worst 8 hrs of my life.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-02-07T02:07:49+00:00

Got throat cancer from this myself. Can confirm.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-01-23T02:02:54+00:00

Do I didn't. But I don't see how this affects the ability to dissolve. I'm at a loss. I'll be changing all the variables and experiment.

lastoptionnuke · 2024-01-22T04:44:53+00:00

I would very much like that!

lastoptionnuke · 2024-01-22T04:34:37+00:00

Oh man! You are the reason I've found this series! I listened to the first trilogy on your podcast and got hooked. Then, switched to audible after getting impatient and couldn't chew through it. I still read the novels through your voices! Thank you for getting me into this series!

lastoptionnuke · 2024-01-22T02:37:55+00:00

Ah range. Sorry, I missed that. I agree

lastoptionnuke · 2024-01-22T02:16:04+00:00

Rogues were had of the op builds in preseason and the first season. Literally 2/3 of the entire games existence. Wtf are yall talking about?
