Source for the new core assembly

 It took me a lot of baksheesh to get the depleted fuel assemblies from the Pacific Fleet. I took this with a pinhole camera.

Enroute to France for Reprocessing
   I got sick of listening about the "Dear Leader". Made me think it was campaign time for the democratic candidates for president...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Reprocessing in France
   I had a blast in France, where I got a heckuva deal on reprocessing the Soviet-era nuclear submarine fuel. Since they lost one of their biggest clients for nuclear technology in April of 2003, they were glad to pick up a little work on the side.
 
 
 
 

Back to the Good ol' US of A in my Aurora

 

 To save time, I called my contacts in the Pentagon and had the Aurora flow over to pick me up plus the fuel assemblies. Ever see two sunrises in one day?
 
 
 
 
 
 

Pulling the core

 
 
 

  I had to take the Rapacious off-line for a few hours to pull the old cores and swap in the new ones.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Fuel assemly being loaded into 85-ONT

 Here are some folks from Nukeworker.com installing my refurbished fuel assemblies. Boy, can they party hard...They had a drink called "Core Breach" and it sure does make your skull feel like it exploded when you wake up.
