There exists a job called “nuclear diving.” Nuclear divers dive into the cooling system of nuclear power plants to perform tasks like cleaning, repairs, and inspections. They follow strict guidelines while diving in areas near the reactor.

I have been busy in the past year with working a lot. I recently got my locomotive engineers license on the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway. I'm also trustee and chairman of the board

Yesterday on the railroad I volunteer I was conductor for our chocolate choo choo. One of our engineers broke the knuckle by smacking around a few cars at 30 mph. And oh the generator for our train decided to stop working. We had to cut this car off the train and go without it . What fun.
