For any nuclear power reactor operators; non-licensed, licensed, and senior, if you have time could you answer the questions below to help me with a school assignment? List responsibilities of an operator? What is the operators role? How many levels of operators are there? What is different at each of the levels of operators? What characteristic traits should the ideal operator posses? Why is training important? Is it important to provide certification? Why is certification required? submitted by /u/theemysteriousmuffin [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've taken a step that some on the subreddit might find controversial, so I wanted to make a public announcement so we can discuss. I've reordered the moderators on the subreddit so that all active mods are at the top of the list, and all inactive mods are at the bottom. Recently reddit added in new capabilities for moderation and classification of moderators as active and inactive. Inactive mods are those who have not taken an active role in their subreddit for a certain period of time. When classified in this way they have lower capabilities. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles ..read more

If to get to 160 tons of uranium you need 160,000 tons, why does my book say that one of the pros of nuclear energy is that it takes less raw material than fossil fuels to produce energy? Thank you guys. You all were really helpful. In the end, I understood that it is the proportion between raw materials and energy produced that makes the difference. Thank you so much for answering a rather basic question. submitted by /u/Smooth_Aioli7447 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This guy flew all over the world and lived a kind of "Mad Men" style ritzy lifestyle for a time. The only thing I specifically remember was him telling me that they'd look for records where the readings had been recorded at the same value, over and over. He said usually that meant someone was slacking and just making up numbers. I thought that was fascinating. Anyone have any stories about nuclear reactor sales from the 50s and 60s? submitted by /u/johntwit [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
