Beside the fact that a classified photo isn't going to be in a student handbook, this has all the hallmarks of a training session. Like you said, a bored instructor that's done this 100 times, student sitting cross-legged (next to a damaged nuke? ok), students simulating the checklist actions by just touching stuff, and some guy watching for some reason. (edit: not to mention, no personal protective equipment whatsoever)
This is from a powerpoint filled with stock images and this article is absurd.
I'd be more concerned about the truck explosion image (https://i.imgur.com/zUWLf4B.png https://i.imgur.com/zUWLf4B.png) next to this one in the handbook. Is that how Transformers are created? Is FAS.org covering something up?
- mike_d 4y agoThat looks a lot like the trucks they use to transport nuclear materials by road. They do all sorts of terrible things like shoot rockets into them, hit them with trains, and set them on fire during exercises so they can ensure they have training for and mitigations in place for every worst case scenario. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safeguards_Transporter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safeguards_Transporter
