I am a retired engineer, and wish to make the following comment. ALL safety protocols, in ANY discipline, are only as effective as the FALLIBLE human beings using them. Therefore, at the margins, they all are INEFFECTIVE. It only takes one careless individual to create a catastrophe.

When I was in the Navy, it was extremely selective in choosing candidates for nuclear propulsion school. I believe there is no similar selection.process for those engaged in medical.or scientific research. Your entree is exclusively your degree. Needless to say, there were incidents, which were not widely publicized outside the Navy nuclear propulsion community, and entirely unknown to the general public. Not as severe as some incidents that occurred in the Soviet Navy, which resulted in the loss of several vessels. Either their technology or their personnel selection methods apparently were inferior to ours.

How do you explain the Navy's impeccable record operating nuclear power plants at sea?

You are correct sir. I have seen it first hand, through my son's experience. There is no "wokeism" in the nuclear navy
Lets hope it stays that way.
Do you really trust the record in question? Personally, I don't know how one can take any record simply at face value here in 2023.
That's valid. I'm going on my son's 17 yrs as a submarine officer. I doubt he's lying to me. Now, is the Navy lying to him?
