The ethical dilemma with the Davids-Beckham power plant is arising after the plant has undergone an outage. During outages, power plants power down in order to perform routine maintenance and inspections along with replacing spent fuel rods if necessary.1 As a nuclear engineer working for the plant, I am under the impression that the outage went well and am even planning to go on a family vacation. However, I realize there were some issues with the outage after talking to a colleague who was…

Many people have stress relievers, whether it be running, music, or even retail therapy. However, for me, nature is where I can be myself, the place I can forget about life’s problems and struggles.

He is committed to fishing because he says in his free time he practices different casts. In the text it states, “I was back in our driveway practicing casts, and when I wasn’t practicing casts, I was tying the line… when I was not doing any of those things, I was fishing the river for bass” (Wetherell 2). Another way to prove…

Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod. By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to two. The crappies were not biting the best, but managed to keep enough for a family meal. They were harder to catch since they just didn’t want to…

The World of Ray Bradbury Now remembered as a legend in the world of literature, Ray Bradbury found inspiration for his works from almost everything he saw in the world around him.
