Hey so a quick intro -
In 2021 I was denied pre-access unescorted access to a Nuke plant due to a failed drug test (I was denied in the pre-employment phase, so didn’t have the access, I was denied before I got it).
I do not have any legal/arrest case involving drugs or alcohol my record is spotless but I believe my denied access will be on PADS( please correct me if I am wrong). I am currently clean of all drugs basically and have been in grad school since then and now.
I recently got an offer for a full-time position at a different nuke power plant. I want to find out if to state this denial in my PHQ, if someone in this position was still able to get unescorted access and what my chances are of getting unescorted access again (assuming I admit to prior use in my PHQ)?
Note: I had held unescorted access prior to my denial for an internship which was favorably terminated.
This new position is an enterprise type position so I will be working with all the nuclear plants in the company’s fleet but I know I will have to get Unescorted access at some point.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I know it is stupid to do weed when planning to be in the nuclear field and I have learned my lesson and I have had enough time to live with the consequences so PLEASE just help me answer the question, no need to chastise.
Thanks in advance.
