Excerpt: The Philippine economy grew at its slowest pace in five years, expanding just 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2026, as the country grapples with the persistent government spending slump and mounting inflation shocks.

The country’s economy, as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP), decelerated from the 3.0 percent expansion recorded in the final three months of 2025.

It also significantly missed the 3.4 percent median growth projected by economists in a survey, and marked the weakest quarterly output for the country since the first quarter of 2021, when the economy contracted 3.8 percent during pandemic-era lockdowns.

Just wanted to make a post to hear some honest opinions from people who currently work or have worked in Operations at a commercial nuclear power plant.

How many years have you spent working on crew doing shift work? Do you ever get used to it?

Do you genuinely enjoy working in Ops? Does anyone regret going into Operations and wish they would’ve stayed in Engineering or another department?

I would love to hear people’s honest experiences, both good and bad.

Hi everyone, I’m an A-Level student focusing my EPQ on nuclear power and the introduction in fusion in completing UK Net-Zero goals (carbon neutral by 2050). I wanted to ask if anyone would compete my survey about this, any level of knowledge about nuclear power is much appreciated everything helps! Thank you 😊
