The Big Dogs Are PISSED-NRC Denied Our Request

Oh Man, is management PISSED OFF! Seems the explosion is causing some HUGE PROBLEMS FOR US! The word is all over the plant that the NRC has denied Entergy's request for an extension of time to get the sirens working. How did the Green Nuclear Butterfly find out the news so fast? I am thinking maybe someone inside is giving out juice. Give us a damned break, we only asked for six more months. OK, a lot of time, but we got s**t breaking loose in every direction around here.

Later this month we have to make nice with those busy bodies known as the General Public when we have our Annual Assessment Review. We are limping along after the explosion, and the repairs are going to run into millions. Praise God that our lobbyist got us that gift, when the provision to make us pay for our own security was stripped from the state budget. That SWEET DEAL will pay for almost the entire siren system if we ever get it running properly, and the repairs from the fire. All we need now, is to have inspectors finding dried white powder under the reactors. Thank God for brooms. Of course, with Neil Sheehan threatening fines and even sanctions, we need every break we can get, even if we have to hide a few safety issues.

The good news, all this activity is creating lots of overtime. The bad news, is having to limit my beer intake to a 12 pack a day. Telling you, all this extra over sight is breaking moral. I barely had time to kick one of the guards out of a slumber before an NRC inspector came in unannounced. What's next, no watching soap operas in the control room, or denying our over night security force an hour to watch, "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central?
