When I started in the nuclear safety field, my focus was on Generic Letter 88-20, the Individual Plant Examination (probabilistic risk assessment) program for building and analyzing detailed statistical/logical models of nuclear plants, looking for subtle vulnerabilities not caught by traditional methods. Generic Letters are "shadow" regulation - issues some people in the NRC think are important but nothing the Commission wants to go through the effort of explicitly regulating. So they issue "Generic Letters" which don't _technically_ require a response but act as a gently coercive wink-wink-nudge-nudge "it'd be cooler if you did..." ... suggestion. The same way "Nice powerplant - it'd be a terrible shame if anything happened to it..." isn't technically a threat.

Anyway, I was wandering down Memory Lane and looked at some of the othe GLs the NRC issued around that time.

May I present to you Generic Letter 88-19 "Use of Deadly Force by Licensee Guards to Prevent Theft of Special Nuclear Material" https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/gen-letters/1988/gl88019

I'd like you to compare the suggested response to people actively trying to steal plutonium, etc. (circa 1988) with how ICE treats children and bystanders during non-criminal immigration investigations.

You are literally safer trying to break into a nuclear plant to steal plutonium than you are standing within 500' of an armed member of ICE minding your own business.

37.7778 in Celsius is very bad for humans.

Or

100 in Fahrenheit is very bad for humans.

It's easy to see which one is better because one is Base10 for humans and the other is not.

Hope that helps.

(Fahrenheit should replace Celsius in the metric system)

Let's do this.

Michelin finally dropped its first Philly restaurant ratings, and one local culinary educator isn’t impressed.

While a few restaurants earned stars, she argues inspectors overlooked the city’s most creative kitchens and misunderstood what makes Philly’s dining scene shine. https://theconversation.com/a-culinary-educator-and-local-dining-expert-breaks-down-michelins-debut-philly-list-and-gives-zero-stars-to-the-inspectors-271049
