Pressure Release

I've held onto a document batch too long, but it's about the pressure release system. The pieces come together over weeks. Sadly.

1. ZzTech hires workers on the beach north of Castillo Republica as jumpers.

2. Jumpers have radiation badges, the last of which go off after an average of 45 minutes of work.

3. When the badges go off, that means the workers have been exposed to the maximum amount of radiation considered safe in one lifetime.

4. The fulltime workers complain loud and long that Zappo-Tech workers so much equipment that catwalks and passages become unpassable.

5. ZzTech workers wash the Pressure Chamber.

6. The Pressure Chamber is a safety device that relieves the pressure from primary and secondary parts -- from the core and the steam generator.

7. Robotic devices clean the pressure chamber as well as possible before the jumpers enter.

8. When the pressure chamber the pressure is blown out into the atmosphere.

I could take this and leave. Would there were a way to leave without tendering a resignation, just disappear. I could say I'm sick, having recently passed out. But no, people know more than they say -- they leer because they assume there's some emotional basis, because deathrattles itch of the familiar. The number of people over the years who have told me they wished they could seize, that it looks like a wonderful release or discharge.

Release. Release from?

Discharge. I'll leave that.
