Sorry man, we can't take any pics inside the plant. Grounds for termination. Just picture an assembly line like you've seen in the movies and tv shows. We roll one out every 3 min. or so. Plant 2 is every 90 secs.

Working at a Nuclear Plant they don't allow us to go take pictures of just anything....they have to be approved by security first before you can use them for personal use. It's not really worth the hassel.

I'll try to find some cool "pre-approved" pictures for yall

Ditto on the 3rd shift pics here. No can do due to company policy. Nothing fancy like a power plant like my old job. Now it's just large tanks in clean rooms with piping. A whole lot of stainless steel and white walls. Nothing fancy.

Here are a few from the refueling outage I've been working for the past 37 nights.

Picture 1: A fuel assembly is being lowered into the spent fuel rack. The blue glow is called Cerenkov Radiation. "Google it" if you like physics.

Picture 2: Technicians monitoring remote welding machines on the pressurizer weld overlay project. The yellow suits they are wearing are called "PC's" which stands for protective clothing. These suits are made out of nylon and help keep our dose (exposure to radiation) as low as possible. They are washed after every use.

Picture 3: Technicians on the fuel bridge in the Fuel Handling building observing fuel movement.

Picture 4: Overlay welding in progress on the Pressurizer PORV (Pressure Operated Relief Valve) pipe.

Picture 5: A shot of the reactor vessel with the "head" (top) removed. You can see each fuel assembly down inside the vessel. The area is flooded with borated water (boric acid/water solution) to keep radiation levels down. Borated water acts as a poison to neutrons which is one way we control the reactor.
