Like the Navy, the people I work with make my job enjoyable. I have worked as an NLO at an Entergy BWR for the past 8 years. Currently, I am an RO candidate in license class. Before commercial, I worked 3 years as a semiconductor equipment tech and 6 years as a nuke MM.
I enjoyed the work in the semiconductor industry more because I wasn't bound to procedures like I am in the nuke plant. I was able to troubleshoot and solve problems every day. I decided to enter the commercial nuke field to get my wife and I closer to home to start a family.
I realize you are accustomed to long hours and time away from home as a Navy nuke. If you don't think the working weekends, holidays, and back shifts will get old, and you don't believe doing the same surveillances (sort of like PMs) week after week will drive you nuts, then come on over.
Overall, the work is not all that exciting. But, if you are able to live where you want to live, earn a good living, enjoy the people you work with, and get a little time off, you may be able to overlook a few things.
