Bro, I sure hope you had good 50A. to run both of them 15000. It has been real hot here also.
Looking forward to next week. We both have 50A for next week.

nuke plants are some of the real technological wonders that man has created. When you start looking at all of the safety in place and realize that we are operating most of our plants on technology that is 50 years old. We may have changed the sensors and controls to newer technology but the same procedure is taking place.

I can say that it gets more amazing when you're able to see the real thing in operation. I was able to tour a now decomissioned and demolished reactor at Ga Tech & the 10MW reactor at Oak Ridge. Even participated in training drills at Oak Ridge.

That nuclear plant looks awesome! Have you visited the Dinosaur Valley State Park?? We used to go there often when I was a kid and LOVED it! I grew up in Mineral Wells so it was close enough to go a few times a year. Glad y'all are having fun!
