Yes I'll bet that opening that containment took a act of congress...lol
I had my fill of the nuke world in the '80's I worked at the Savannah River Plant in S.C. but that was a DOD site.
Worked on the project S-area where they were gonna put the waste in big stainless steel pepsi bottles...lol 12 foot thick concrete floors & 3 & 4 foot thick walls I'm sure you know the deal

Pat and Cj, In a prior life, before all days became Saturdays, I used to be a Union Millwright and worked Outages at Salem I and II, Hope Creek, and Peach Bottom Nukes. Turn-arounds, Shutdown, and Outages, all the same, and we used them all on Nukes, Coal and Oil fired units and even a Pumped Storage Hydro at Yard's Creek, Blair, New Jersey. Being retired for five years, you boys are making me homesick for slinging those wrenches and Micrometers. Wow, never thought that I would hear myself say that!!!!! 
Wait, I also built some scaffolds in boilers too, but you can keep the Klein sidecutters, tape, and scaffold wrench, and give me a set of feeler gauges and a Rotalign any day! 
CJ, are you out of New Castle by any chance?

Funny you brought up the scaffolds in boilers, it's different in other area of the country as to which craft has the fire box & can make it really interesting. Did some boilers in WV & the boilermakers had everything in the boiler, real fun with a carpenter (scaffold man ) trying to show folks that really don't give a dam how the scaffold system worked...lol Also made me think of the time I got 8 or 10 dock builders at a PECO job.
