Feel like helping?

One of my assignments due tomorrow is translating a technical piece into a non-technical piece. Let me know if this is too technical for anyone:

Translation of an except from Marks’ Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers

9-138 : Fuel Materials

Nuclear fuel materials are divided into two categories: those that produce energy and those that don’t. The materials that produce energy are atoms that break apart during the nuclear process. The materials that do not produce energy undergo a series of reactions during the nuclear process and eventually form into a material that is capable of producing energy.

The materials that do not produce energy undergo a series of changes during the nuclear process and eventually form into a material that is capable of producing energy.

Why would I ever say that about a job that has a starting salary high enough for me to buy a new f150 each year and still keep the old one(s) just for ****s and giggles?

Teenagers? Me is a bit older than you may thinks... Ive worked in the nuclear industry for 7 years prior to me leaving to get a more solid 9-5 job so I can actually complete the BS... having an AS in that field really doesn't do much.

And in this country (The US of Bush) it IS ALL 'bout money

Oh, sorry.

Post-teenager, then?

I like Bush, but IMO Steffani is the better.

Here's to the lucky 6.
