LT Craig Williams MCS(SW) Norman Gillen Reactor Laboratories “This is a drill, this is a drill, romeo sierra, romeo sierra! Reactor Laboratories casualty assistance team lay to Number 1 Reactor Room. This is a drill.” That’s RL Division. Twenty three Sailors who trained and drilled continuously to ensure that radiation control and water chemistry was properly controlled. Engineering laboratory technicians constantly analyzed water chemistry and maintained control over the plant’s chemical environment to prevent corrosion. Other Sailors in the division concentrated on planning radiological controls, maintenance and administering the personnel dosimetry program for more than 600 shipmates. By maintaining the optimum water quality, they ensured their equipment would last the life of the ship. Emergent maintenance, multiple inspections and preparations for an Operational Reactor Safeguards Exam kept RL Division busy and productive. By controlling radioactivity and maintaining reactor and steam plant chemistry, the dedicated Sailors of RL Division did their part to ensure that George Washington was ready - anywhere, anytime!
