> That comment made everyone in the house laugh out loud.

So, rather than answer the question...

No, really: are ROs trained in the scientific method? Are they forever doing experiments? This actually seems rather counter to the proper conduct of their jobs: making sure everything runs normally, and not screwing with things.

Or are we to just assume that just 'cuz they've got "nuclear" in their job title that that makes 'em scientists?

In either case it's a bit disturbing to hear that some of the people tasked with the proper operation of nuclear reactors believe that miracles are as proper an explanation for the way it works as any other...

Yes, we are so trained. And miracles never explain how something works, but it can explain why somethings happened.

Well, the incidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl do give the question some validity.
