Damm, Who Knew This About President Carter

[Number6]

We're somewhat familiar with Jimmy Carter's life but here's a story of where he helped saved a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor in Ottawa.

But President Carter has always had the kind of integrity that usually keeps people away from public office these days. Back in 1952, Carter, a young Naval officer, was in the early stages of a most formative moment in his life and career. He had recently been sent to work under Captain Hyman Rickover at the Naval Reactors Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington, D.C. Carter worked closely on the nuclear propulsion system for the Sea Wolf submarine. As such, he told CNN back in 2011, "I was one of the few people in the world who had clearance to go into a nuclear power plant.”

On Dec. 12, 1952, a 28-year-old Carter was called into action after an accident occurred on a new experimental nuclear reactor at Chalk River, Canada. Nuclear energy and containment was new, and the Atomic Energy of Canada Chalk River Laboratories were dealing with a partial meltdown. Canada needed help and Carter was one of a very few people with active knowledge of the subject.

Some have questioned whether or not this story, which sounded like something out of an old Captain America comic book, was real. It is. As Carter explained in his memoir, "The reactor core was below ground level and surrounded by intense radioactivity. Even with protective clothing, each of us would absorb the maximum permissible dose with just ninety seconds of exposure, so we had to make optimum use of this limited time. The limit on radiation absorption in the early 1950s was approximately one thousand times higher than it is sixty years later."

Carter and his team were a part of the group of people who needed to clean and fully shut down the reactor. The short amount of time Carter and his team could spend at any stretch meant they needed to be precise. They first created an exact replica of the reactor in a parking lot nearby to practice cleaning and repairing it.

His urine reportedly had traces of radiation in it for six months after the experience. It’s hard to overstate how great Jimmy Carter is. Every new story about him, or old story you had not heard before, only adds to one’s respect and admiration for the man.

You can't say anything nice about a Democrat, so you have to deflect.

I answered his question he asked was there a mainstream Republican alive with that level if knowledge and courage

And ignored the point about Carter. Not surprised.

Crenshaw sounds like a fine soldier in a military known for training same. He deserves high praise and honors for that. However, I wouldn't want him advising me on how to stop my melting nuclear reactor. He also sounds a bit deficient on his understanding of the issue with young kids and firearms.

Crenshaw's service is admirable but what he's done since as a politician isn't. Carter's actions possibly saved tens of thousands of lives.

Nice try at deflection since you have made it clear you don't like Carter.

And yet, here he is telling people not to comply with mandate laws. Some patriot. He’s one of the many Republicans making the base sick and causing them to die.

Of course a con would promote someone who is contributing to death.

That is because Jimmy is a decent man and a liberal.

Cons HATE decent people especially when they are liberal. Cons will ignore intentional mass murder if it is done by their leader.

Fuck that dirty fucking Con.

Crenshaw is first rate fucking ass hat. Jimmy Carter is a Man of Principal.

Stay on subject Glenn. Your deflection is an epic fucking fail.

Cons hate decent people because Cons have no concept of what a decent person is. They would have a fucking suck up to Putin in the White House.

Partly my fault, I opened the door with the question. And instead of acknowledging why I would ask the question in the first place and then honor Carter, which he will never do, he googled hoping to find a con.

I was ready to acknowledge this person until I saw what a disaster of a human he is, Crenshaw I mean, not board con.
