Fucking eat a dick Westinghouse. You dick heads ruined nuclear power in the United States. South Carolinians really missed out on clean, reliable energy. We hate you.
BigIrishGuy
Best of luck on your next adventure!

My restaurant unexpectedly closed Monday, I'll share an unemployed drink with you, brother! Cheers!

I love how this post has no nuclear haters. Nuclear power FTW! But where?
navyjeff
Former nuke here. Good luck with your job search.
Lefthandturnsignal
I really wish we had the time and money invested into nuclear at this point.

Getting day drunk is one of my favourite things to do when I have the time,

Getting fired from my last job was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You'll bounce back. Make sure that you do though.

You need to have a little fun during the bad times. Best of luck with your next endeavour!
RedWarBlade
Ah that they kinda fucked up at a lot of turns with that. It was a very expensive science experiment.

A short moment for something real. Thanks @OP, when you're ready you go get'em, mmkaaay?

I have only vague memories of this past Sunday

I worked there in the QC department until June 2016. New job sucks but not as much as getting laid off. Good luck to you.

Come to GA bro. They are still building Vogtle units 3 & 4
LeeTheEnginee
I feel for you, the industry is shrinking fast. CB&I completely fucked up both Summer and Vogtle.
ErinFromTheOffice
Westinghouse also makes really shitty (but admittedly super affordable) TVs

Go ahead! Get day drunk for a while but you'll hit a wall if you go too long!
StillNotYouTube
I don't get it
saganworshipper
I'm sad to hear about to hear about the layoff. Nuclear is one of several mediocre options.

sorry all i can think of is Westinghouse breakers lol Cutler Hammer/Eaton BR series

I'm really sorry about your layoff. :( My significant other works at SRS and was thinking of trying to get on with VC Summer when I (1/2)

Relocated from Augusta to Columbia. Glad we didn't attempt that. Hang in there! Good luck with your job search!! (2/2)

Nuclear is clean produces very little waste, period.
ParaBellum96
Coal ash puts off more radiation than a nuclear plant
thesupersonic
But the waste takes 100,000 years to decay
Djsnek
Ya, the very, very little waste that it produces. Sure ya.
thesupersonic
Watch "Into Eternity" to see how to deal with waste
gaenaralhonk
Humanity's shown it's not even remotely ready for the responsibility of taking care of that "little" waste
Stostri
And the waste it does produce is far less dangerous than most people think it is. We've seriously missed out.
SasquatchKimono
It's one of the cleanest there is. Steam is the main waste product. And don't worry. The guys running the plants know their stuff.
insertsupercoolusernamehere
Our current waste could be recycled if we build more pellet reactors like the test one in Idaho. Can't go critical, shuts itself down.
bongles
What happened
EarlGreyOrDeath
Nuclear disarmament treaties and negative propaganda against nuclear
Stostri
Mostly a lot of bad PR and a lot of ignorance. People think nuclear waste is difficult to manage, and overestimate how urgent the danger is.
WuTangClamaintnothingtoShuckwit
Not so much for Uranium mining though...destroys native lands in the u.s. thrpugh pollution and over mining
Djsnek
So does coal. Also Uranium is quite a scarce resource worldwide making it hard for it to have much of an impact.
WuTangClamaintnothingtoShuckwit
One solution would be thorium, as it is more abundant in nature and leaves lower amounts of radioactive debris
hbakeryeah9000
But you can't make weapons out of thorium so no government wants to fund it
Djsnek
Not true, It isn't funded because it would compete with oil companies due to its high energy and low waste outputs.

Nobody said you had to search for new jobs sober
mordrul
That's how I got (and quickly lost) several jobs!

I felt my applications had a little more oomph when I applied while tipsy.
RubelliteFae
Just remember if you apply drunk, then you have to interview drunk or else you'll forget your answers

What did you do before?
apparentlysethrogen
Might be a good idea to be sober when you apply though.
LordSithis
For the interview, really
apparentlysethrogen
Also a good plan
