Opal Mines in Spencer 11/2 hour north of I.F. on I-15. You might try out the Blue Room (for real) on Rollandet, in I.F., used to make good burgers.

Hi Ya'll,
Just to let you know....I've lived here my whole life and It's not that bad if you like a laid back life style, and don't mind winter. Course our winters as of late have been Mild in comparison to the Old days. If your recreation minded, there's a lot to do. Some of the Best fishing and Hunting around, Some nice lakes, And a ton of scenery. Yellowstone Park, Teton Park with the Grand Old Tetons, Jackson Hole if you got a lot of money ;). There is a LOT of work to be done out here, estimating 50 years approximately. All DOE work. Idaho is also a right to work State so Unions are minor...(whether this is a + or - is up to you). Three major Companies out here for work...(1). BNFL Inc. who I work for (2). Bechtel and (3). Bartlett. Always seems to be jobs posted, so if ya want work it isn't to hard to get. L and Q clearances are a thing of the past here now....Facility Access passes are how they're doing things now. DOE Core certification is Mandatory for Rad Safety work and well as Site Specific Cert. Site Specific cert. classes are taught at the area to which you will be working.
Soooooo.......If you have any more questions just give me a hollar and I'll try to answer them.
Terry

Anyone here worked at INEEL? I have read the forum in "talk about:" but it didn't really tell me much. All I know so far is it is damn cold, a long bus ride, and a small town. But how about the work? My background is biology (been a rad tech the last year, in the industry for 3 years) and I was wondering what other kinds of work they might have going on up there (besides swingin a meter). Considering INEEL, Los Alamos, Pantex, any thoughts?
Thanks.

:)Hi there! I'm sorry I can't tell you much about the site, so you probably don't really want to hear from me necessarily, but.... I gotta tell ya.. I love Idaho Falls. I was raised there and I think it's a great place to live. I was there over the summer and it's grown quite a bit in the last couple of years. Arco, though, is a very small town. I have family there, too, and the best thing about it is Atomic Days in July and.... well, going to I.F. haha. Sure hope you go and like it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. :) :)

What about the INEEL soon to be call INL. Its not a bad place to work. There is alot ofcleanup going right now. I think if you have training in Biology as you say there their may be some other things to do for you as well. I am a senior operator in spent nuclear fuels. Like every where there are trade off, if you like outdoor rec such as skiing and snowmobiling or four wheeling and fishing in the summer its a great place. If also a family oriented town with a very conservative point of view at times. There is alot of change going on at the site they are splitting the contract so one side will be clean and close and the other side will be research and development. I don't know what changes will come out of that move. Hope that helps. Can alway write to vbstan@yahoo.com Take care and good job hunting Vic
