“He wasn’t even a nuclear engineer.”
Wow! Thanks for that. For decades I’ve uncritically accepted MSM’s claim that he was, as illustrated by this boot-licking article in Time:
“Jimmy Carter has always been proud of his breadth of achievement: nuclear engineer, farmer, U.S. President, humanitarian and 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner.”

I now see that Jimmy himself fueled the misperception:
“I had training as a nuclear engineer, working in the United States Navy on our country’s early nuclear submarine program.”
