Got Geiger counter?

Is the OP a troll?

I can't tell if serious or not.

In my late teens and twenties I worked as a Health Physics "Rent-a-Tech" for various companies that provided temporary (months, sometimes a year or more) help during refueling and/or repair outages. So, get ready for a long list. In chronological order: DC Cook, Three Mile Island, Oyster Creek, Arkansas Nuclear One, Hatch, Palisades, Salem, McGuire, North Anna, Crystal River, Oconee, Turkey Point. I think that's all of them. Then I landed a job at national lab and stayed put. Cue Johnny Cash: I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE, MAN, I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE...

Whew...

Wao nahele wahine, you've got me beat. Keep wearing those face pumps and anti-Cs when ya got to and watch out for the zoomies and badnasties (do they still say things like that?)

Yes, they do...along with some things I best not be stating here...lol.

NDT = non-destructive testing? Just curious in case it means something else (I can think of a number of things it could stand for when it comes to nuclear stuff).

It's used in the airline industry.The only radiation in use when I was working was xray.

You are correct, Tom. The non-destructive method I am certified for is Electromagnetic Testing (ET), which is also referred to as eddy current testing. I used to also acquire UT data when I was starting out in the biz back in the mid-80's. I have been an ET analyst for 25 years now.

I know a little about eddy current testing, but just enough to know how it works and what it can do. Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated!
