Being nuclear means ruthless is good

The recent publicity about the USAF’s screw up over nuclear weapons is a big deal.

Even the subject of the PRP has come up, called in English the “personal reliability program”. Bottom line it is a ruthless program to protect us from lazy people, wacko’s, and people in distress, like divorce or alcoholism. And it was a part of the old days when every service wanted a piece of the nuclear weapon action. The PRP worked, and it is a pain in the tail. That it is not fair, but failing an annual PRP inspection was a career ender. It was logical later to dump all the nuclear stuff on the Air Force and the Navy, and we as a Nation should be thankful for it. Good on them.

The USAF burp about nukes should ruin a lot of careers. That is a political subject which is another post

What is of interest is our USA energy interest in the future. Nuclear electrical generating plants make so much sense. All the tea leaves and flavors make political sense these days. This citizen would just like to hear about the training, and requirement to be competent, and the review if a nuclear employee goes “wacko”.

This PRP standard will go a long way. And the demand of the PRP is so basic. Just be safe run by safe trained people. And along the way, ruin some careers of those who do not get in step.
