    Default Weird places you have worked

    I ran across a photo of a site I worked at 25 years ago. It just amazes me to look at it and remember working there. The ball is larger than the Epcot ball and completely hollow, meaning no internal supports. If you look around you might be able to figure out what this place is.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Looks like the containment building for a nuclear power plant. If it is, I have no idea which one it is.

    You guys are fast. That ball is the D1G ball for a surface ship reactor plant. There are 3 other containment buildings for submarine reactor plants. They are the tube looking things. Here is a link to a larger picture.
