What the hell? Your IQ isn’t answering the question of why you say the thing will kill you…

LNG is contained by a dynamic system of ‘expansion voids’. Like a Potemkin doll, the large container contains a smaller one and that, a smaller one still. Each one, from the actual internal LNG container in the center, is a space into which the boil off from the previous container may expand. It is not a containment vessal; it’s a containment ‘system’. Friends of mine were overseers on a construction project for a new LNG ship. At the completion of the construction, they refused to accept the ship. Nothing on the ship worked, many of the systems that did work were erratic, they had no idea what the response would be when they took actions.
They were fired and blackballed on the East Coast.
I was automation Engineer on a Supertanker with one of them. He did fine on there.

I don’t remember the math but the explosive capabilities of an LNG tanker are similar to the bombs now (2008) used in Afghanistan. You gasifie the liquid with one explosion, then ignite the resultant gas. They will take out entire towns.

Each man has within his personal strength of character and capabilities, a sense of what he can control. Whether men, ships, airplanes, construction jobs, you know when you’re over your head. This doesn’t apply to the personnal in a nuclear power plant. They have been chosen by a differant set of criteria. When the place catches on fire, fills with smoke and explosions are heard here and there, they don’t look to the guy who takes charge in such situations; they hold a meeting. I rejected ‘retiring’ into the nuclear industry because the men who would have been my bosses, weren’t qualified to work for me.

I don’t know whether this is important or not, but I’ve saved two or three ships, spent nine years moving ammo in Viet Nam, and have an IQ about 160. Some things I just won’t do.

Why would you not allow one of these in your neighborhood? Care to explain “this thing will kill you?” What do you mean by “the potential of the equipment determines the qualifications of the operator?” ….and how exactly is the nuclear industry run by people looking for a good grade?
