Nuclear Worker Wages
uf6man:
I am a Union employee of the only UF6 conversion facility currently operating in the United States. We are getting ready to renew our contract in June 2007.....we are now being treated as a Nuclear Facilty instead of a Chemical Plant by the NRC. Can anyone give me an average pay scale for Operators in a Nuclear Plant? This information would be greatly appreciated by myself and my Union Brothers & Sisters. Quality Union Work!

Impossible to answer if you are applying a general wage to "Nuclear Operator".
So many variables.
I am going to throw out 25-35 bucks/hr to cover an experienced non-licensed plant operator.
Starting out maybe 22-28 an hour depending on location.
I work at a privately owned plant, so I don't have to factor in paying the union vig, i mean union dues, so I am not sure how a private wage converts into union wages.
thenuttyneutron:
This is a hard question to answer. I made about 33% more than my theoretical wage on a 2000hr/year. The overtime from a long outage and a bonus skews the real wages from what you should make at 2000 hr/year.
M1Ark:
$30/hr straight time is a good average for being fully qualified non-licensed operator. +- $3/hr for cost of living.

Good wages, good career, who could ask for anything more?
