Mark,  when you write "we," I assume that you're referring to your
collective self  (i.e., me and myself).  It tends to be offensive when
you only take four words to belittle so many.... but I digress.

If I were to choose, I would have to say that beta-gamma (nuke)
challenges are much more simple than the b-g + HSA alpha (DOE)
challenges.  Although the outages may be a grind, the fact that your
alphas (are supposed to and for the vast majority do) stay put,
means every radiological hazard at a nuke is easier to locate,
identify and analyze than many of the HSA alpha hazards at DOE
facilities.  If you don't believe me, ask some of the equipment
manufacturers.

But that's just my opinion, I'm sure there are plenty of folks who
would disagree.  So why paint your opinions with such broad
strokes?  There are both outstanding people and real losers at every
facility (nukes and DOE).

I may indeed know "little."  But I'd prefer to admit that myself, thank
you.

BTW, I've worked at a nuke, a cyclotron/university/triga, and a
several DOE facilities.

My own personal/non-corporate thoughts,
