I'm out of the nuclear gen stations now (Limerick and Peach Bottom). My last
official duty at Limerick was to escort some roofers who were patching some
penetrations we made for a cooling tower. We couldn't find a roofer who
could pass the **** test and get security clearance, so I had to baby sit
them. A real pita.
TTS experience is local (Grows in Fall Twp). Also did some work for
U.S.Steel and Rohm and Haas in this area. But most of my work was downtown
Phila (hospitals, high rises, etc).

You're not at Limerick, are you? Which trash-to-steam plants have you
been at? Back in the '70s -'80s
I delivered a lot of 'bag houses' and other equipment to TTS plants.

Scotty,
I've worked 3 jobs for the past 20 years in order to put myself, my

wife and
kids through college (6 undergrad and 2 grad degrees). You already

know what
my day job is. At night, I draw electrical schematics in AutoCAD and

program
ddc graphics for Honeywell. On the weekends I have what has turned

into a
cushy job operating a power plant (sounds better than boiler room).
I used to open the boilers and work all the mechanical projects, but

on the
midnight shift I just watch gauges, flip switches, open and close

valves,
and read read read. Oh, and sometimes I come on here to make a

little
trouble. Pathetic, eh?

That's always been my contention, unions were needed back then,

and
they worked . unfortunately they've gone too far in a lot of

cases.
Why are you up at 0400?
