Not that it matters, but I managed the Radiation Department briefly as Unit 2 shut down.

That must have been interesting. I was in graduate school and in real time was in contact with members of the nuclear regulatory commission as the meltdown story was unfolding.

@petergleick 👍👍

It was. As an outside contractor was told going in not to bring up that I was a journalist. Was super quiet, boring unless an engineer had to file his report. I created art from filling in coffee stains on my desktop calendar daily. Matted, framed it and gifted friends, but they likely tossed it, haven't dared to ask. Used it as a website interface for years. Good times.

Will track down a digital copy of it and post here once our power comes back on just for spits and giggles.
