The nuclear welding, did you work for B&W? Did a lot of work for their R&D lab in my apprenticeship.
B&W Nuclear Operations Group Euclid, Ohio . Formerly we were a Navy Power division of TRW then became independent. B&W was a prime customer of our Navy Nuclear Propulsion stuff and finally bought us. They do big stuff down in Barberton, Ohio and while we did some big, we focused on what we made for years, since the Nautilus, and that was the CRDM (Control Rod Drive Mechanism), the only moving part in the reactor core. Great years, many great memories and worked with some truly wonderful people. We were employee owned when B&W bought us and they paid well plus maintained our salary pension plus the 401K so I was fortunate.
