DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity)
The New Orleans-based electric utility Entergy (ETR) posted a video on X.com last week featuring one of its nuclear power plant control room supervisors. The video appeared to be intended to highlight the company's embrace of diversity and inclusion.
Meet Stephanie Parker, nuclear plant control room supervisor. 👋

Stephanie and her peers operate and support a fleet of five reactors. 🤯

Doesn’t the NRC require screening nuclear plant employees for mental illness?

One wonders what the point of Entergy posting this was; it doesn't seem to have inspired confidence in their nuclear operations.
