Pity having full time jobs is seen as a bonus.

It should be the norm.

You are probably referring to someone who works as an operator at a nuclear power plant. Uranium is mined in TN, refined and enriched in IL and KY through a very dangerous process, and then sent someplace else to be turned into fuel rods. Lots of cancer deaths and even some catastrophic deaths at the plant I worked at. Nuclear power is not all rainbows and butterflies.

All of it requires industrial production, which has its dangers, waste byproducts, and risks. Also, the choices made have wider repercussions in the economy and world that have impact on lives as well.

That's our Unit 2, Unit 1 is even smaller :D
It's definitely small than Perry, OH. I was spoiled there!
