Welcome to the YIMBYest neighborhood in North America. “That has hardly left the city cheap, but has made it at least less-exorbitant than East Coast peers like New York or Boston.”

NRC acknowledgement letter for the application for 4 AP1000s being proposed near the Pantex facility in Texas. NRC willing to play ball once they receive a “complete” and “high quality” application. Certainly a different approach from pre-application discussions!

So in order to get hired above a GS-05 position, you have to write an essay about how you would advance the Presidents EOs. How does that not imply a loyalty bias for careers that are expected to stay in positions through different administrations?

Am absolutely frozen but it was very much worth it. We were in line to see President Carter by 5:30 and only got inside by 8:00 and into the rotunda by 9:00. Very inspiring to see everyone out to pay their respects.
