Here is a funny little story from the NR-1 Sub Brief.

I'm still researching the details and writing.  I should have it done by March 15th.

For a man who was hated by the old guard, he managed to acquire enough power to make things happen.

How about NR-2? Saw parts like a reactor pressure vessel and other long-lead items at EB and Mechanicsburg in the late eighties.

The more I hear about Rickover, the more badass he becomes lol. I can’t wait to hear this brief. Rickover seems to be an unstoppable force

Hey, how do you know about NR-2? What have you been up to, Jay?

Years ago Nuke MM/LELT, was fascinated with the NR-1 reactor documentation while at Nuclear Power Prototype. After getting out and receiving a degree in ocean engineering, went to work at EB where I saw NR-2 components. While there, was told that NR-2 was canceled after Congress found out about the NR-1. Also viewed the full-size mockup of the NR-1 while working on the full-scale SSN-21 mockup. Had to visit Mechanicsburg every other month as part of work where I saw NR-2's reactor vessel (if memory serves me right). Have now been at AUTEC since 1999.

Really looking forward to this one. I just listened to the ‘Dark Waters’ book in preparation for this sub brief.
