I was the first to achieve criticality (Reactor Startup, I was the Reactor Operator) today at a U.S. nuclear power plant using MOX fuel.

Excuse my ignorance, but is that a bad thing or a good thing?

I'm guessing good?

I doubt any power company wants to kill off 1,000,000 customers?

Good. Gives you another fuel source. Weapons grade plutonium is different from the normal nuclear plant fuel.

:thumbsup: congrats from an ex-Navy nuke (electrician, they only let me be a shutdown reactor operator)

 

[Toastedlightly]

explain more. I am interested.

If that is weapons grade, it should definitely have a high efficiency. Security must be extra tight a ur site right?

Yes, was with the DOE, they escorted the rods to the site and stayed here until we off loaded them into the spent fuel pool. Then our site took control we have tight security anyways.

But a really bad day at your job can be really bad.
I suppose there isn't much to worry about though, it's pretty safe these days. Do you think we'll see more plants using weapons grade fuel? I'd think they would be really popular in Russia.
