This is not a fair summary of the facts.
One person you describe as a nuclear engineer also did this: "In 1991, Garwin convened a symposium of experts to discus ways to stem oil flows from Kuwait wells, set on fire by Iraq during the Gulf War."
One other person you describe as a nuclear engineer was also head of Sandia for 5 years. You will end up with a broad knowledge of engineering techniques in a wide-ranging position like that; robotic handling techniques for nuclear material are something DOE labs know a lot about.
Another person is a robotics engineer; again, highly relevant here.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoOil fires != underwater oil spills. It's a totally different problem. As for being the head of Sandia and picking up general engineering skills, I don't disagree they are all smart people with generally applicable skills in the physical sciences. That doesn't mean they are underwater oil spill experts. Also, Katz is an expert in fluid flows. That's just as relevant as robotics.
