Some actual ULSD info

FWIW, while I was (sorta) working last week I came across some info that may be of interest here.

By way of background, nuclear power stations use large diesel generators (about 4000 hp) for back up electrical power to run safety systems. They have very specific requirements for capacity and fuel consumption and they do a lot of fuel testing. Like everyone else, they are going to have to deal with ULSD. The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) just issued this to U.S. nuclear plants:
