> [In Nuclear Power School,] I was below the line enough to earn the distinguished dishonor of 25 additional study hours each week
My man, welcome to the club! Reminds me of the time I was punished for being just 30 mins shy of meeting my mandatory additional study hours because my friends dragged me out to go see Star Wars Ep 2. Nuclear Power School had a rule where if you were scanned in (everyone had to scan in and out of the building with a badge) for study hall less than 30 mins, all of the time was invalidated. I clocked out at 29 mins. It was not worth it!
We really do want that kind of attention to detail in our nuclear force, though. Its the combination of engineered safeguards and cultural safeguards that has kept the nuclear navy relatively incident-free all these years.
My default position of trust in a nuclear energy startup starts off very low specifically because I have yet to see that kind of detail-oriented and safety-oriented culture in the people behind them.
