Why should these workers be singled out. Just try to find ONE person in this country with internet access at work that doesn't surf the Web at least a few times a day!!!

Why should these workers be singled out

???

Because they are in charge of the integrity of a nuclear power plant.

How fucking stupid are you anyway, axecrement?

Wassamatter Goatcrap, never seen the Simpsons?

Why are they allowed internet access in the first place?

There are any number of filtering programs that can block access to all but authorized web sites.

No. I don't watch TV.

What's with the vitriol? Out of that cheap gin?

Goatsee, I returned your spirited addressing of Axe as Axcrement in the most civil characterization that I could which held a mirror to your attitude. How can you be so dim as to think that others will not take the same tone as yours when you jump at the chance to call names.

FluffyTuffy 101, Isnt there some racist thread that you can go flame? I saw your hero James Earl Ray mentioned in a thread today. Why doncha find it and join the other race baiters in a nice 'pile on the black folks' story, you racist piece of shit.

The people who watch the alarms that would identify such a critical solenoid gone bad don't surf the web. The internet on the bridge of a drillship is highly filtered. Only work related stuff gets through.

Maybe you should stick to talking about things you know about -- like cheeseburgers.

My attitude? So you are saying that like axe, I fill almost every one of my posts with shit words and the monicker "goatcrap" fits me as "axecrement" fit's axe?

Wrong again, constipated one. Try again. And when did you become axecrement's spokesman, anyway?

Poor Oldweaknstupid. His reasoning is as solid as the shit in his diaper, or the food he eats at "the home".

I hope both he and hermaphrodite are in old folks homes in New orleans, and another katrina hits. We dont need those societal non-contributing old fuckers leeching off the system. Consider it an abortion of useless old senile dummies.

Nothing in #10 even attempts to dispute #8. You're still a "technician", at work, surfing the web, on a not-if-but-when ecological disaster.

Fluffytuffy, take a shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which one fills up first.

Seriously, somebody mentioned your hero, James Earl Ray, how bout you take a picture of your shrine to JER and post it. We would like to see your handy work you cheap-shot internet coward.

Find a nice racist spank party thread and leave the regular customers alone or you are gonna have to finish yer drink and leave the bar.....again.

James Earl Ray accomplished more in a 5 minute span than you accomplished in your entire sad, pathetic, and uselss existence. He's a hero, and will be remembered as such!
Dont you eer disparage that great man work!

"My attitude? So you are saying that like axe, I fill almost every one of my posts with shit words and the monicker "goatcrap" fits me as "axecrement" fit's axe?'

There you go again Goatsee, assigning a false position and putting words in other peoples mouth.

Truth is, I just dont like you Goat. Its Everything about you. Its America, I have a right to dislike stupid shits like you and Fluffytuffy. Aint it a grand country!

This old fart is gonna shoot up an vocational school one day, 101, and it will be your fault.

Oh dear. I shattered.

I can't say the same about you. I think it's pretty stupid to dislike an anonymous blog person. There are more important things to dislike than you, whiskey breath -- like pickled beets.

You may want to re-read your posts, Copernicus. Your grammar and spelling aren't even up to Celisary's standards.
Now, go run a warm washcloth over yourself, call it a bath, and retire for the night, pops.

You're a 1 joke pony Fluffy, get some new material.

Hopefully the school doesnt have wheelchair access, and everything will turn out just fine.

Another FF for Goatsee, that's 2 for the day. You may be right. I'll reconsider.

The guy that's hung on to a James Earl Ray throw away line from years ago is telling somebody else to get new material? My god, old codger, you can't be serious.

Poor thing.

Oh, he is a fluffy little ankle biter and he thinks he's a tuffy. What would you call him Goatsee?

Yeah, and thus, nothing ever goes wrong. Just remember, you're just one missed benzedrine pill away from becoming a shish kabob on the 6 o'clock news.

As are you, northgay. Or do you have some sort of magical shield that protects you from danger?

I....I.... shit this thread has gone so far afield I can't remember what it originally was about

Goatturd is so good at that...go back to #8 and start by laughing your ass off again like I do.

Then it will come back to you.

And #31 sure has a lot to do with it too, dummerboy. LOL

You make it so easy for others to slap you silly.

I surf the internet at the nuclear plant I work at all day long. To my knowledge, nothing has ever gone wrong. Then again, I'm usually drunk, most days.

This calls for a bong hit and some serious reflection on what is the real meaning of reading this thread.

I'm not familiar with nuclear power plants, is it difficult to tell if something is going wrong or are they just looking at gages to make sure everything is in a normal range?

I mean, are they constantly doing calculus to make sure everything is working properly or what?

Also, were they on the Internet for ten minutes at a time? No mention of porn, so they couldn't of been too distracted...

I'm surprised the plants internal security didn't find out about this first and put a stop to it.
I don't understand why they can access the web from inside the control room anyway.

rwd

On the surface, yes, it is a shocking headline, until you realize that 'monitoring' doesn't necessarily mean staring at the gauges full-time. There are fault alarms for this very reason.

Also, did it say that they were all surfing at the same time or was somebody keeping an eye on all of it while the others surfed?

I'm not defending it, as is violates NRC policy, but it's not quite as scary as it may seem at first.

Next they'll have strippers and a party ball.

You know how it goes.

"But the NRC said the web-surfing control room operators..."

So are these guy Techs or control room operators or both?

In my world the Techs look after the PLC programming and field instrumentation and the control room guys react to trouble in the process identified by their HMI boards.

Next they'll have strippers and a party ball.

There's probably nothing against that in the rule book.....and I'm not so sure there should be. Nobody should be denied strippers at the workplace!

Goes to show you can tell people specifically not to use something and they will do it anyway. I suspect the job is extremely boring and dull and any kind of distraction would be worth the risk. Modern control systems such as SCADA and DCS run themselves. I'm making a big assumption here but I bet whoever it was had the screen with all the alarm points running while they used the web.
I'm suprised they had online access unless it was probably a company network that they were probably accessing using their own devices. If that was the case they should have known everything they were doing was being recorded by some IT guy for the Feds. Online networks for powerplants, pollution control plants etc. are pretty well scrutinized by their owners.
But, it seems as if they knew it since the report said they were not surfing porn sites.Which in most cases can lead to automatic firings.

"I'm suprised they had online access unless it was probably a company network that they were probably accessing using their own devices."

Not necessarily. We have a corporate network where most of the workstations have internet access but all our control systems are on their own network and that one is extremely locked down.

Our control rooms have workstations on both networks, so it's possble to surf and monitor the systems at the same time. It's frowned upon obviously, but it still happens.

Oh dear. That's awful. Did someone flag "Goatman is so stupid" as funny again?

*yawn*

There are more of you zeroes obsessed with me than I ever imagined. THAT is the joke, not me, dummerboy.

LOL

Well, dummerboy basically admits his membership in the "I flag anything goatman related as funny" club.
Nothing screams "you own me" quite like that. Congrats, goatman.
