The article talks about the ninja air compressor system developed at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant of Entergy which weighs less than 4 pounds and can hold 4,500 pounds per square inch (psi) of gas. The system is patterned after the paintball and was developed by the Maintenance Instrument and Control (I&C) staff of Entergy together with Ray Trimble of Ninja Paintball. The cylinder complies with U.S. Department of Transportation requirements and is hydrotested to 7,500 psi. The smaller gadget also costs less than the self-contained breathing apparatus.
