When I think of diving, I think of fun days, relaxing on the beach, cold beers, and good times. Of course, there are those who scuba dive for a living. Sometimes I think this might be a good time, too (divemasters, underwater videographers, even search and rescue divers). But today I stumbled on an article about, in my opinion, the least appealing scuba-diving-related job in the world: diving in a nuclear reactor.

I concur. Never thought about it. Have thought about commercial diving, but never quite in conditions like this.

"Nuclear divers" often go into the cooling tanks when reactors have a problem. The thing is, when reactors have a problem, the last place anybody wants to be is inside a cooling tank.
