It has been has been a long time since I have stood Reactor Operator

A while back someone reached out to me out of the blue over the details of the RPCP. As it turned out a buddy of his and him were having a disccusion over the question since it had been nearly 20 years since either had performed a reactor shutdown.

At first, all I could recall was the shim switch. Then I remember the RCP pump switches. Later I remembered Tave, the NI's, the pressurizer swtiches, then the Reduced Frequency pumps meters.

I did not think it was that bad since it was more then 10 years since I stood Reactor Operator.If any of you old RO's out there want to give it a shot by all means have at it. It was pretty cool to go through the instrumentation on the panel especially no one was going to ask me my pump shift limit was.

For that reason I thought it would be a good idea to launch this blog in order to give all nukes past, present or future who were not damamged permanately mentality to contribute to particiapte in this blog.
