Compatico. I retired as Chief Troubleshooter of the So. Cali Power Grid Automation System, which included our Nuke Plants. I didn't have to 'bust my knuckles' doing that though like you have to with being a grease monkey.
Actually I was a Licensed Operator for 12 years and then became a Senior Licensed Nuclear Operations Instructor (kinda why my posts read like teaching lessons) till I retired. So I never got very greasy at work (although radioactively contaminated a few times, (and NO I don't glow in the dark)). The greasiest I ever got at work was the time I had to crawl on top of a reactor coolant pump motor doing a clearance tag out and the top was covered in a sheen of oil. That motor BTW was 10,000 HP and caused a dip in grid voltage when we started one, and we had 4 of them running at power.
I did too. Too effing funny.A very interesting background
I laughed at "don't glow in the dark."
How old is this plant? Something about it says it’s not new.
Might be the analog gauges, rather than digital readouts.
Yeah, the equipment looks a bit dated. Functional I’m sure.
That, and the guys seem to all be middle-aged. I do believe this is not a current photo but one from Atomsplitter's archive.
That's not LAX!
Yes, I can see that, now. I've only been to San Diego 2 or 3 times.
