...know," Betancourt said. "And we do it all the time." What's more, Millstone 1 was ignoring the mandated 250-hr. cool-down period before a full off-load, sometimes moving the fuel just 65 hrs. after shutdown, a violation that had melted the boots of a worker on the job. By sidestepping the safety requirements, Millstone saved about two weeks of downtime for each refueling--during which Northeast Utilities has to pay $500,000 a day for replacement power...
...happened, they would be reflected in operator's logs filed in Northeast's document room. So, on Oct. 6, he appeared in the room and asked for the appropriate rolls of microfiche. The logs backed up what Reynolds had said: Millstone had moved fuel as soon as 65 hrs. after shutdown--a quarter of the required time. The logs noted the sounding of alarms.

...disentertainment. Nomi gets one job after having sex with the hotel's entertainment director (Kyle MacLachlan) and a better one after pushing the headliner down a flight of stairs. She has no soul to sell, no morals to corrupt. Kinda like the film. For 2 hrs. 11 min., Showgirls offers a slumming party inside the moviemakers' libidos. Ladies and gents, no matter how curious or horny you think you are, you don't want to be there...
