They still like that one, and are very proud of their history. I'd love a tour of what's left of Unit 1 some day, but I've never had time/opportunity to do so.

Apparently he lives in a high radon area. Apparently our RSO had to reconstitute his dose records from the different plants he had visited.
And knowing this particular person, I don't think he's in the habit of collecting radioactive materials

Colleague of mine used to keep his dosimeter in his basement office when he worked at home.... He doesn't do that anymore because he was getting enough dose from radon for it to screw up his dosimetry records

The hormesis folks are... an interesting crowd. I've never understood why people have grabbed onto ALARA and LNT as the reason plants are so expensive to build, tbh. Any regulatory scheme will have "keep the fission products inside the building" as a primary goal, and as it turns out, that's hard.

My favorite is the chunk of graphite I have labeled as coming from Obninsk. I'm slightly dubious that it was used, but the soviets did lots of stupid things. It definitely has the "visiting scientist gift" vibe. And Obninsk is just obscure enough that it's possible

I think there's an interesting contrast here between the "everyone gets a bonus check" vibe of the video and their other efforts to eliminate performance awards and high ratings for the majority of employees

I was in a branch meeting at work. Listening to a bunch of near retirement age civil servants (mostly on the more conservative side) try and parse that was similarly surreal

What's even dumber is that Spirit exclusively flew A320s and their entire fleet was grounded because of a design/maintenance issue on the P&W engines that their entire fleet used. So even if you bought the planes sans engine, the engines aren't even available to buy

Is evil miasma a respiratory hazard? Or something like acute radiation exposure? Just trying to decide on the appropriate engineering and administrative controls

I don't know that I'd use it on turkey, but it's ideal for the outside of grilled cheese. Easy to spread even when cold, sears nicely, overall an excellent option
I realize that sounds weird, but I tried it ages ago and it works perfectly

With this specific item,I can't get over how specious the reasoning is. WaPo finally got the OMB memo purporting to justify this, and it's just completely nonsensical, especially given that Trump signed it into law in the first place
