Don't belittle us. We have to understand the physics of the nuclear reactions quite well actually, otherwise we would be unable to respond to unique situations and understand why things occur when they deviate from normal.
Yes, automation is useful and present, but it does not replace well informed on-site engineers who know the theory well enough to creatively solve reactor issues as they arise.
Keep that "they only know levers and switches" bullshit to yourself when massaging your ego.

You should probably go back to school... If you were really a nuclear engineer, you would know that most fission products increase in atomic number during the decay chain by BETA EMISSION. Maybe you were busy posting inaccurate comments on YouTube during that class...

Why do these reactors still use Uranium and Plutonium instead of Thorium?
-
wouldn't a crapload of alarms go off during a SCRAM?
-
@JgHaverty ah i see ok well hope the job bodes well
-
@killman369547 I actually started workin at a civilian plant since this last comment :D The differences between navy and civvie plants is ASTOUNDING lol.
-
@JgHaverty control rods in civilian plants are boron carbide
-
@teslacoil208 Spoken like someone who knows nothing of the training and certification pipeline for nuclear power plant engineers/operators
-
@nGAMMArxn lol what are civilian plant control rods??
-
@imux2012 this is not true at all. find the reactor this was supposedly used on.

Just a comment:
SCRAM comes from Safety Control Rod Axe Man or Safety Cut Rope Axe Man. In the past when the first nuclear reactor was started, there was a man with an axe, in order to cut a rope holding the control rod and stop the chain reaction. That's funny no?
