October 5, 2013: The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant Trip


 October 5, 2013: The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant Trip

LONG OVERDUE. I haven't been taking many photographs (which I will fix very very soon) so here's something I've been meaning to post. We had to go to the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) to do research for the Committee on Energy and it was PRETTY DARN AMAZING. 







 The day started early at 7:00am. 
The one on the right is Edsel. I work with him in the office. 
He's an Energy guy as well as the mascot of the E-Team.







 Cong. Cojuangco wanted to ride the bus so we used his car. woohooooooooo





ZZZZZZZZZZ
 This is Laurence. We work with her also!






 But first, we dropped by the National Power Corporation for brunch. 





 And then to the plant!!!






 Very power plant-y. It felt like a game!!!




 But first, orientation. 






A replica






 Cong. Cojuangco leading the orientation. The issue with the BNPP is that it was created a long time ago but is not operating. We were actually there to be educated on the BNPP and how it may pose as a possible solution to some of our power woes. It was pretty interesting stuff! This is one issue that will definitely come to a conclusion this 16th Congress. ^_^





 ALSO LOOK AT THAT URANIUM PELLET MAGNETICALLY FLOATING INSIDE A BALLPEN





 LOL? NO???







 Off to the tour of the plant.





 AH SO WONDERFULLY VAST











 Laurence as a tank

 How power is generated. EXTREMELY COOL





Things that matter
