(2006-03-02) — As part of an historic nuclear deal between the U.S. and India, President George Bush announced today that officials at U.S. nuclear power plants who experience technical difficulties will call a toll-free number to get immediate help from a tech-support center in New Delhi.
“Our friendship with the people of India grows stronger every day,” said President Bush. “It’s good to know that from now on, when a nuculer reactor starts to overheat, or meltdown, the plant manager can call on the world leaders in concise and courteous customer service. They’ll hear that cheerful voice saying, ‘Hello, my name is virtually unpronounceable. You may call me Steve. How may I help you?’”
Under the terms of the U.S.-India nuclear pact, if the Indian tech support operator can’t resolve the issue before radiation escapes the containment vessel, the call gets ‘escalated’ to the next level — transferred to an American technician back at the power plant which has the problem.
