  Looking at the control room displays they use imperial units all over the place - lb/ft/F. I'm very surprised that none of that stuff is metric. I wonder if this is part of some regulatory requirement.

    These old units are common in engineering applications across North America, the US especially. When I was in chemical engineering school, we had to be effectively bilingual in terms of units. We even used some bizarre units like the lb-mol, defined as the number of atoms in 12 lbs of carbon-12 (ie 454 times more than a gram mol).
