I also worked on centering Boronated Carbide (B4C) the buffer rod in a reactor that are in SNF dry storage containers in a few states where reactors are. B4C is only made in a few places and can only have a ppm of 0 for a reason.

I also worked on the Stellarator project.

There is so much the general population doesn't even know about that goes on in the government and elsewhere. Alot of nerdy reading, but I had to create a lot of it. Many people are trying to find ways to dispose of the past decisions and find new alternatives that are clean and non-impactful to the environment. I am in favor of preserving the environment in more ways than one. Some don't give a shit about it and it's evident here.

Also, I'm guessing they shut it down because Nuclear Plants are not going to be a thing anymore?
