I've spent a good deal of time in Yuma when it was over 120 degrees. And while it was very warm, rather than hot, and I was wearing gloves, I have touched a critical nuclear reactor... As in, I was in the reactor compartment, the reactor was at minimal, and I was fixing an essential alarm circuit - while underway. Lost a chevron for that... Senior Chief was not at all impressed with my opportunism. Also received two years of exposure, according to my dosimeter. Worth it for the story that goes along with it. Losing a grade sucked tho.
dude from another prior nuke - lol wtf!
heard about a guy teabagging the reactor once too
So you're telling me that if they went full containment and set up the tent and donned the suits and sent your ass in to repair a fault affecting 1MC and General and you were the only person inside the chamber - and the reactor was critical - that you wouldn't touch it? I don't understand. I mean obviously, I dropped back to 3rd class for that shit.
