I hear you Alan, I really did not think you were promoting it, I guess I should have alluded to that fact. I guess I was just bragging about having qualified in a Nuke, sweated blood I did and it was freezing out.
The whole experience was bad from my point of view due to the fact we were driving 180 miles (round trip) every day and working 12 hour shifts on top of it. At the on set I was really curious about working in a Nuke, not any more.
I needed a bottle of Oxygen in the area I was working, there was just a door separating me from the Welding shop where it was stored but the door could not be opened during an outage (rules). That meant going back through the RCA (Radiation containment Area?) doing the stripping down dance to my skivvies, getting a full body scan, put my street clothes back on go up stairs and out the front of the building, walk all the way around to the back of the building (and it's a big building) to the Weld shop, locate and push a bottle of Oxygen through the door (that could not be opened it turns out from the other side and no human could pass through it).
Then back around the building and down, suit up to enter the RCA. That was best part of the whole job because there was only one unisex locker room.
