Trump says he bombed Iran

[govshill2]

Israel has been making steady progress against Hezbollah.

This is what a well planned invasion looks like. Maybe Israel should be in charge of our military.

Iran has been demanding any agreements must include Israel stopping attacks on Hezbollah.  Maybe that's one reason for the stalled talks?

Are you blaming Israel for defending itself?

Are attacks on Hezbollah considered attacks on Iran now? 

According to Trump the main reason the talks are stalled is because Iran won't give up its uranium.

On the contrary. Israel needs to obliterate Hezbollah and Hamas.  

Iran sponsors Hezbollah right?  So the attacks on Hezbollah are probably considered attacks on Iran by Iran right? 

Iran was demanding the Israel Campaign stop.

No wonder Trump can't make a deal with Iran. He can't remember  what he has done, or know what he is doing.

That's the problem right there. Why is Iran in any position to make demands?

Unless they are winning.

He's so dishonest he can't keep his lies straight

Does the word delusional mean anything to you?

They are in no position to make any demands at all.

A nuclear reactor operator is vastly different to a telephone operator.

(By the way, telephone systems are now entirely automated, not needing human switchboard operators after the decadic dial systems replaced telephone switchboard operators some time about 7 decades ago. The use of the term 'operator' these day usually refers instead to sales staff.)

Someone with a PhD in Atomic Physics would do the math that, in cooperation with engineers, produces the design of the alarms, lights, dials and controls that an atomic plant operator monitors and operates.

An atomic plant operator role does not require a PhD and it would be unusual that an atomic plant operator had a degree and remain in that role (You could ask your favorite LLM or search engine for verification of that fact).


Nope.


They only repeated stuff that I have seen published in numerous news reports.

The easy way to think of this is that a Nuclear Reactor Operator (NRO) is to a nuclear reactor what a pilot is to an airplane. You can't legally operate a nuclear reactor or fly an airplane in the US without being licensed by the government.  Back about 50 years ago, I was in the process of earning both licenses, and observed that the general principles are the same.  First, you have to get accepted into a training program that is licensed to train individuals, and they have to have a reactor facility and an approved training program.  That's the hard part, because you can find pilot training programs at almost any airport, but there are only a small number of reactor training programs around the nation. At the time, I happened to be living in the greater Portland, Oregon area and Reed College had a TRIGA research reactor that had been funded by 4 or 5 of the universities in the area.  Any qualified student who was attending any of those universities could apply to train and get licensed through Reed College. At the time, I was halfway through earning a BS in Physics at one of those universities with a Major in Nuclear Physics, so I applied to and was accepted in that program.  

The curriculum starts with basic principles of the nuclear fission process, the exponential power growth associated with a critical mass, and control and safety systems.  Then you move on to what's called health physics, which is basically how radiation interacts with common materials and the human body, how to monitor radiation exposure, how to detect and avoid radiation hazards and how to react to accidents or anomalies.  Then you have to learn the mechanical systems of the particular type of reactor that you are going to get licensed on.  That includes the control panel and control rod mechanisms, cooling system, HVAC system, and the systems for getting scientific samples into and out of the reactor core safely.  And finally, you have to learn all the federal regulations that have to be observed when operating the reactor.  This all happens in parallel to getting hands-on experience operating the reactor and all its systems under the direct supervision of a licensed instructor.  This kind of curriculum usually takes about 18 months until the supervisor determines that you are ready to take the licensing test which, at the time was administered by the Atomic Energy Commission. The test consists of a written portion and a proficiency portion in which you demonstrate that you can safely and competently operate the reactor throughout its entire operational envelope. The written exam covers:

• Reactor Theory & Thermodynamics: The fission process, neutron multiplication, reactivity coefficients, and heat transfer.
  
• Plant Systems & Components: Design, control, and mechanics of primary/secondary coolant loops, emergency core cooling, and electrical distribution.
  
• Procedures & Admin: Emergency and transient operating procedures, radiation protection, and NRC licensing regulations.
  

You don't have to have a 4 year university degree in Physics, but if you do, you've probably already picked up 90% of the math, physics, chemistry, and biology that you would need to pass the test.  

It's not at all the way it's depicted in the Simpsons.
