I believe I will finally retire next year right after my 44th anniversary .

Is that Susquehanna? I’ve worked outages there. They abbreviate SSES.

I teach most of the classes for the apprentice operators now, I hope to part ways and do my own thing at 55 in 18 months.

More than you'd think... 20 or so operators and shift supervisors. Probably around 30 maintenance personnel, plus line crews, planning and engineering, and other support staff. We also cover various small hydro stations that are operated remotely.

Nope. I have always been non nuke.

I teach everything from basic electricity up to power system dynamics. Depends on which class it is that week.

I have some stories.
Either you live a charmed life, and don't see anything.
Or you have a black cloud over your head and shit just break when you walk into the room.

Now, some stories aren't mine. I was off that day.
But yes, I've seen some stuff.
Tell some of the stories in my classes because they help make a point.
