McGuire
RP Instructor:
Doug Hatch left McGuire when GTS Duratek lost the contract with Duke Power, and last I heard, he was still with GTS Duratek, now as a Project Manager at Oak Ridge.
I believe Brent Sherrill is still at McGuire, though I don't know for sure.
I'm sad to hear that McGuire has become "persona non grata". It wasn't like that years ago.
McGuire has always had the attitude that it's sh*t didn't stink, and only after having moved on, did I realize that I had bought into that propaganda, hook-line-and-sinker. Treat people like crap, and they don't forget - plus they tell their friends.
A rumor heard here at Summer, is that Barlett wants to be able to have the HP's assigned here for RF-15, support McGuire on their off-day. A four-hour round trip up-and-down I-77 after working 12 hours is going to kill somebody. I've fallen asleep at the wheel, and it's not a warm fuzzy feeling when you wake-up and realize that your flying down the road at 60 mph.

nice rumor. thats all it is. mcguire will shutdown and be over before summer staffs, so using summer's crew during RF-15 to suppliment mcguire's crew on thier "off-day" just dont make sense. ie mcguire staffs 2/21 shutdown 3/5 for approx 5 weeks bring'n it to approx 4/9 or so at which time summer staffs 4/13 shutsdown 4/22. now if a tech wanted to work mcguire then transfer to summer for the outage we could try and work that angle, but your rumor is just that, a rumor with no credibility.

Well here it is in a nutshell... If Mcguire wanted to staff all they need to do is pay the money that the other sites that are staffed are paying, quite denying that it is a great place to work, treat people like they are welcome and not just a number to help them fill there staffing numbers. Untill Mcguire realizes that it is a sh@# hole it won't change...

Who is going to take the house tech jobs open at MNS ? From what I have heard they have their offers out and nobody wants to own up to them except for 1. MNS has the ball in their court and everybody is hoping that they have made the right choices and offer some appreciation to some of their loyal core team. But this is Mcguire and of course they hate or dislike vendors (hate is such an ugly word) so would anybody expect them to do the right thing ?. Catawba has done the right thing and hired from their core and the Oconee team will surely pick from the core team they have but you always have the wildcard of Mcguire to hose things up and hire some off the wall people just to keep turmoil on the back burner. So here is to Mcguire do the right thing, this Bud is for you

Back in the 80's and early 90's, McGuire "liked" (if not "loved") their vendors/contractors. It was before the days of the "core techs", but we still had long-term contractors, that we treated like family. In fact, we hired a number of them when we beefed-up the RP staff back in the late 80's. I'm sad to hear that McGuire has changed that much for the worse, but I'm not surprised. Evidently, some of those in MNS RP management have forgotten their roots, and that they too were at one time vendors.
For what it's worth, McGuire has treated it's own Duke employees like crap too. McGuire wouldn't be such a bad place to work, if you could move some of the RP management "out-to-pasture". It's time they moved-on, for they have been in the same position too long, and McGuire RP needs fresh ideas.
