Jorji,
I'm a female ex-Navy Nuke. I did 6 years as an EM and got out, I decided to go commericial Nuke two years later. I immediately got interviews for every plant I applied for and took the first job offered (as a non-licensed operator0. The jobs ARE out there if you look and they (those who do the hiring) are very open to females.
That being said, at the plant I work at, there is only one other female non-licensed operator and one female licensed operator. Expect to be one of the few, but if you enjoy the work like I do, you'll be fine. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Good luck!
