Talk About: Pilgrim

New England's Number One hot spot...yah yah yah.  I enjoyed myself for the 14 years I was there as a housepuke.  Good pay, great living by the ocean, marvelous parties.  Bad news, this place is a wrecking machine for Contractors.

[Pet_Cow]

Pilgrim is a site? I thought it was a retirement home for Road Techs.

[rlbinc]

I lived in Plymouth, thought it was great.
Good people, great food, outstanding Irish pub.
Whale watching was cool, PYM is a great airport if you like to fly.
Fenway Park was a hoot.

Make sure your car insurance is good, I chose to drive a beater truck. Full contact merge lanes.
Lots of Left-Handed-Coffee-Drinker-Right-Handed-Cell-Phone
type drivers. They USE horns and guardrails.

Good Mun, Lotsa Fun

Ah yes, traffic circles and pulling your car half way across the road to make a left hand turn, blocking traffic.  What idiots.

[SloGlo]

one of the few places where aggressive driving is yer first mode of defensive driving. road rage is the norm, flipping middle digits is useless as it increases the chances of spilling yer own coffee, 'n nobuddy outside of yer vehicle cares.

humm I do not know what the rate there is for hp. but a safety office asked me for the upper 40 an hour range, and 550 a week in diem, thing is I makeing $1190 a week for diem in boston , seems a little low to me right now!
but I had a blast there in 93, its the last time I ran into Dirty Murdy. whats up with him?

[Luscious]

The site everyone forgot

[llamagramma]

Last Time there was 2001. Good night life. The Ocean is outstanding. A few nice people really stood out, Jerome, Joe and Bernie. Oh yeah Marie Rossi (Bartlett Recruiter) was working dosimetry, that alone was worth the price of admission!!!!!

  worked there in '81, bartletts first contract there for hp's.

the site and myself had a mutual agreement for me to terminate, had  a blast while i was there.

GOD BLESS all

I was there in the late 90's. The RP Supervisors were good guys - but the place was a dump.

Could never get out of the RCA without crapped up shoes, CRD banks dripped continually, they had to build wood scaffold deck around risers to do ISI, they never modified the safe end barrier - so it was hand stack concrete block (incredible amount of exposure), the hand crud on the stairwell hand rails in the office building management occupied was thick enough to cut with a knife, in the same office building you could do radiocarbon testing on the dust bunnies, the carpet was worn down the center with fillet weld like dirt slopes and the stalagmites & stalactites in the microwave ovens would turn off a rat. The lunchroom ceiling tiles were caked in nicotine. Just a vile vile place with no pride. In short - the most vile Nuclear site in the nation.

I told the Night Shift Ops Supervisor about "take your daughter to work day" and dared him to bring his kid there, just to tour the office building. Fifteen minutes later my Supervisor showed up asking if I wanted an early lay off - 5 minutes later I was in the body counter.

Maybe they cleaned it up under new ownership.

Anybody got an update?

[garycom]

Worked there last spring on the refuel floor. Good bunch of people to work with.  I lived on the cape, enjoyed the seafood, and hated the traffic circles!

[Asa1]

Worked there in 99 in the drywell for Ron Passalugo. Had a great time. Got treated great for a lowly con. Hector was also very cool to work for/with. Would go back.

[doctormoo]

theres a koa on 44 in middleboro i believe

[RAD-GHOST]

I heard the word strike out there somewhere? 

Sounds kind of funny when they stage their contingency plan before they do a sit down with the bargening unit! 

Anybody know if they are paying the Seasonal Per Diem of $158.00 a day?

Inquiring Minds want to Know?

[Remo]

Hey Rad-Ghost: 150 a day for the first 30 days. 1000 bonus after training, another 1000 if they go on strike. 36.5 cent a mile in/out no cap. Remo

[RAD-GHOST]

Sounds like a nice chunk of change for the Summer, but " Be Careful    "!  Maybe they'll be paying the same at the next outage? 

Take care, keep us posted!

[hatched]

At this  point in time, as in TODAY!!!, information about the contract HP pay, per diem, etc....  should remain confidential.  Releasing info about this situation only endangers the contract HP's that are involved in this contract.  Someone amongst the contractors, feels the need to let the whole world know what is going on.    PLEASE THINK !!!!!!!!  This may be over soon and then you can talk all you want!!!!!!!!!!!

  This is not correct info.........and at this point in time, the  correct info will not be publicized (by me, anyway) and also, don't believe everything you  read!!

[RAD-GHOST]

Hey Hatched,

What's the Skinny?

This site is a great venue for sharing information in the Technician sector, such as this thread!

Did you ever stop and think?

Maybe the information is true, for the other techs!

Makes you wonder, RG   

[IPREGEN]

An agreement was reached between the company and the union

Good to hear.  Hope it was a fair one that can be lived with.

[hatched]

Sorry....but wrong info again...an agreement has not been met, only proposed.   It will be voted on July 15th at 11:00 pm

Hey RG, 
Every tech is paid the same for this particular situation....and you have received the wrong info on pay.  ALL the techs are getting more than you have been told!

Reply to ASA1:

I'm glad your experience with ronnie and hector was memorable.  Both guys were great and I had many good times with them.

[Old HP]

Ah yes, Pilgrim, I worked the outage of 1977. Spent a long three months enjoying the short commute from Whitehorse Beach to the plant. The area was nice but the plant was nasty. As a result of my experiences there it has remained on my list of do not visit again sites.
