As to the Bechtel question...they have hired juniors and within a short period of time they get promoted to Sr even supervision with out any experience. EG&G/URS (AMWTP)has recently advertised for SR techs at $36/hr. The posting didn't last too long. Probably filled it with starvin' JRs HA HA HA. Really,kidding aside, nepotism, within AMWTP, runs rampant. Everybody hiring their little brother with no experience to do a man's job. Stay out of AMWTP if you value your sanity.
As for that matter, Stay away from Battelle Energy Alliance too. They are the 1st tier contractor for INL. Recently, in a meeting at MFC concerning compensation for the RCTs, the RCT's were told by the HR people that they were basically 'a-dime-a-dozen' and the money for salaries was given the the PhD and scientist. That the RCTs were there to support them. The company was reminded that without RCTs, their PhD would not be working with radioactive material. Needless to say mutiny is in the air at MFC.
If you are looking to come to Idaho. DON"T!!! run a different direction. Winter's are horrible and the road to the site is a mess. Idaho Falls is not the nice little community they want you to believe they are. There is an underlining uneasy, almost perverse tension here, most likely perpetuated by the Mormon community(which is over 50%). If you are not Mormon, you will never fit in. Yes there are allot of restaurants here, but most of them are terrible. I was told by a local RCT that they didn't care, they didn't know the difference anyway. Shopping is bad, very limited and strange. Even within the stores you know the merchandise is censored. And Christmas in Idaho Falls this year was like spending the holiday in an atheist town. The City of IF showed little or NO enthusiasm for the holiday.
Needles to say, I have a low oppinion of INL. I have meet a few good and really fine people, but I am looking for an exit.....

Take I-15 South and keep on going! This is still America and you can quit at any time,
especially if you are so miserable there....
