I'm learning the rules... I worked at the Westinghouse Advanced Energy Systems Division in Large, PA from about June 1976 to May 1984. I know I can't use "first person" entries, but I can answer a lot of questions about what went on there in that time frame. I was a QA Inspector, but started as a material handler/bandsaw operator in the machine/weld shop. In QA, I did receipt inspection, in process manufacturing inspection, non destructive testing, and shipping verification. I worked on the Tokamak Fusion project, the batteries, the fuel cell, the heliostat, the "MHD" (copper plates with ruby bearing insulators and plasma gas flowing through), the RadWaste Evaporators, fuel rod storage containers, large motor housings (for reactor coolant pumps, I believe), and various other projects. The photovoltaic lab developed a heating/cooling system for nuclear submarines from solid state materials. Highly innovative for it's time. They later became the dendritic web silicon solar cell facility. We had a seismic testing group with a large hydraulic platform to test equipment. It was fun working there! I think I still have some of the brochures they put out; I will see if I can find them, and if there is any interest, I can scan and upload them.
