For over 30 years, Homer J. Simpson has been America’s most visible — and unbothered — federal employee. He’s been responsible for near meltdowns, mishandled hazardous materials, slept through security drills and once caused a total plant evacuation because he was trying to eat a sandwich stuck in the control console.

While fans of The Simpsons have long treated Homer as a symbol of blue-collar chaos, what often gets overlooked is that Springfield’s nuclear power plant is a federally regulated facility. And that means Homer isn’t just a bumbling dad — he’s a career federal…
