How to build a Nuclear Submarine - BBC2 Documentary - YouTube
this is an hour long BBC documentary on the UK's nuclear sub plant,
and at minute 22 there is an interesting seven or eight minutes on welding,
with some pics of welds. I enjoyed the whole thing but between minute 22 and I think 29
is where the relevant welding parts are.
I thought the young lady's early comment about "argon: two lungfuls of that and you're gone"
was interesting. When I graduate to argon use, I'll sure keep that in mind.
Might have a lot to do with welding in confined spaces too and whether the air handlers even worked yet.
All welds are xrayed. what they do with a "defect" there would have been interesting to hear about.
No different I suppose than welding on a plane or other super critical application. Like a high pressure LNG pipeline.
Not quite sure my Gravely's mower deck would qualify...
