Nukemann
I was born December 9th 1960, married in 1998. I have a stepson born December 29th 1988. I have been an Instrument and Control Technician at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in Ontario NY since 1988. Honorably discharged from the US Navy, achieved the rank of ET1 (SS) as a reactor operator & technician on submarines for approximately 8 years, 7 months and 7 days. Nuclear power information is kind of my hobby. I believe it is critical to the future success of humanity to build more nuclear power plants now.
Does it bother anyone else when a technical question is asked and the "asker" chooses an incorrect answer?
It tends to bother me when I take the time to answer a question, link supporting information and the asker chooses a technically wrong answer with no supporting documentation as "best answer"

7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoShould women be allowed to serve on fast attack nuclear submarines?
On the boats which I served there was only 2 heads for enlisted personnel 3 showers for ~ 100 men, unless social mores have changed or the officers give up their head, this creates a difficult situation. The mental stress of close quarters for 3 months at a time and the logistics of personal hygiene seem to make this too much trouble for the limited benefit. The current divorce rate for submariners is very high, I think this may have a negative impact on that statistic. The US Navy has announced this as a goal for the near future, do women serve on any nuclear submarines of any nation?

15 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoMy wife seems to have lost touch with reality, what can I do?
She is not answering simple questions about time, date, day, who is president etc. She seems to be inventing fantasy scenarios, conversations which did not occur, plans that we have not made etc. Should I seek immediate medical care (it is Sunday), or wait until she can see her psychiatrist?
