yeai know, i was on one of them for friends and family day. the USS Enterprise. eight freaking reactors on that sucker.

i'm sure eventually there will be commercial application of nuclear power, but for right now i think people are still too uneducated and spooked about it.

 

Well, United States Navy carriers and subs, anyway...........

Why all the fuss over deisels n nukes?
One 440 is all ya need.
X2 on the red tape, One of our customers is Exelon. (Chitown Light and Power) They as you may have guessed have nukes. Some of the motors we service are in those plants. Occasionally we service them on site, but usually they pull the motor and ship it to us. Everything we do on their stuff is scrutinized to nth degree. They have to witness all critical steps. In fact, we are getting a camera system put in so they can watch us work remotely. Thier build requirements border on ridiculous, but hey, they have the money to spend and however long it takes to do it thier way, they have no qualms footing the bill. So we just do whatever they ask. It pays well.
