Before he was President a young Jimmy Carter was a nuclear engineer in the US Navy. His experience with clean up of a partially melted down reactor led him to block US development of the neutron bomb. – 1948

He is a hero and my favorite President
Everything I learn about him makes me love him even more. The last good Christian president.
I’m sure there’s a good reason for blocking the development of a neutron bomb, but…I thought a neutron bomb had the least fallout and the least remaining radioactive contamination?
I never realized how handsome he was!
Guy ran the country like Joe Biden and his policies led to 12 years of Reaganomics
Dang, I thought he was just a peanut farmer.
And I agree with others; he seems to be the most decent person who has served as President within my lifetime
*In a soft, sweet, southern voice*
“Hi I’m Jimmy Carter, and I’m here to clean up your reactor.”
He kind of looks like Jimmi Simpson here
TIL Actor Tim Baltz is a dead ringer for young Jimmy Cater
So who were all those boomer progressives who wanted Ted Kennedy instead in ‘78-79-80?
That’s why he was able to handle the Pepsi Syndrome.
A great example of a human being.
Maybe being exposed to all that radiation made him immortal.
Calling him a Nuclear Engineer is a stretch. He doesn’t have an engineering degree. He worked in and around nuclear reactors in an operational sense, receiving some non-credit coursework, but I think he dropped out when his dad got sick. Seems like a good guy after leaving office, but not a nuclear engineer.
Thanks to Biden he won’t die as the worst President ever! Good info as I like all the humanitarian work Jimmy has done
And people try to paint him as a dumb president??
I wonder if we will ever have another president who served in the military
Imagine if we were able to judge a president by his merits instead of his politics. Maybe just judge him as a man. Maybe not judge him at all.
Ironically enough the reactor was in Canada at Chalk River if memory serves.
This is BJ from the righteous gemstones
Awful president, top notch human being
And the US government paid him peanuts for this.
I’ve often said one of our greatest presidents. Made the hard choices regardless of politics
Not a good president, but a great human being.
I’m straight but young Jimmy Carter is hitting different
Jimmy Carter was not that great at being President. Awesome at being a human being. One of my favorite Americans.
Very intelligent and kind hearted person but as a president he dropped the ball. He will no longer be considered the worst president since Biden took office.
Jimmy Carter is so unfathomably based, I can’t believe that some Americans fawn over Reagan and meanwhile people barely talk about Jimmy, smh
Freaking navy nuke!?, Holy batshit, I have a new found respect for that man!
Cool, but he was still a terrible president.
Jimmy
Carter served on diesel powered submarines and eventually became a
student of the Navy’s six-month Nuclear Power School, a book-based
course on the operation of nuclear reactors. While there he was released
from the Navy due to hardship (death of his father). He started a book based, non credit college course in nuclear power plant operation in March 1953. Carter quit the Navy to raise peanuts in October of the same year, never finishing the course. Carter got a BS in something at Annapolis, but it appears to be a mystery, from my internet search. I doubt that he has a degree in engineering. People don’t become engineers then try to hide it.
….I’m gonna say it
A good heart makes a man handsome, and carter is a fine man
He’s nice.
Holy shit he looks exactly like BJ from righteous gemstones
My aim is to try to be at least 10% of the man he is. Incredible human being.
bad luck brians grandfather
That knowledge came in handy during Three Mile Island meltdown.
In another time, Jimmy Carter would be viewed as a great president by the general public. He just wasn’t what America wanted or was ready for at the time.
Damn, America went from having a nuclear engineer as president to an actor.
There is a documentary about 3 miles Island on Netflix.
Found it interesting to watch.
Good man, never knew that
Neutron bombs were already developed and being produced , Carter halted production a few years into his presidency. Misleading title here
