Terms of Use

This is a site for engineers in the nuclear power industry who are interested in getting answers to critical design questions. Because it is a community of engineers, anyone who asks question ought to be prepared to get frank, honest, and forthright responses. Some of the answers may be controversial and generate debates.

Engineers understand that there are usually multiple ways to solve the same problem. You are responsible for understanding any advice that you get on this site. We recommend that, before taking action, you consult with other knowledgeable professionals, co-workers, and superiors. Play it safe.

No one posting suggestions on this site does so as a government-licensed specialist.

This site is not connected with any consulting firm, utility, government agency, or architect/engineer firm. It is strictly an information site.
