Message: <blockquote data-quote="FreeXenon" data-source="post: 1910186" data-attributes="member: 6228">FreeXenonFreeXenon comes from my time in the military. I was stationed on the USS Enterprise as a member of the Reactor Controls Division 22 from 1994-1998 (the tail end of Desert Storm). I was a 2 plant Reactor Operator. [ as an aside, we missed 2 port calls to Turkey because of Sadam. I'm still bitter about it! =) ]Envision you are on a late (22:00 - 02:00) watch with absolutely nothing happening - you are bored out of your mind and looking at dials, switches and gages that have not moved in several days. Your mind starts to wander and you  look to to the other (Alpha Reactor Operator) and say we need to start a revolution. There is something horribly wrong here that needs to be fixed. A tragedy of epic proprtions. Xenon needs to be freed. Freed from the tyrannical oppression that is the reactor. He wrongly is imprisoned in the reactor and need to be set free.You can here the chanting now "Free Xenon!! Free Xenon!!" picket lines starting to form.... riots happening on the docks as the military police start to puch the crowds back. Xenon is a fission product poison that builds up during normal reactor operation. Some people had this as a screen saver for their PC's. It is just something that stayed with me. Strange enough I registered the domain name for a web developement business that I will start someday. <a href="http://www.freexenon.com" target="_blank">http://www.freexenon.com</a>.</blockquote>
