DHS will be along shortly to arrest you for posting pictures of a nuclear power facility.

Please turn around and put your hands behind your back.

14 Billion for both units.

Each unit is 1117 MW

Shit, i sent them a resume a while back and never even got a response. How does a place that is going to be needing a lot of people in the near future not respond to a guy who was a journeyman chem tech, a non-licensed operator and is now a reactor operator???
