well being 15 rp's short kept alot of people running....
the 35 mile drive to Fredericksburg is just to long....
the pay at the low end of the pay scale........
bottom line is there are alot of better choices for the fall outage season.........

Agree with pretty much everything you said, however no-one forces you to live in Fredericksburg for the outage! Plenty of places less than 10 mins from the plant.

I have to put out a special "atta boy" for nightshift supervision. K and M were the best I have ever had as far as a pair of supervisors go. Wow, those guys can take a licking and not pass it down. Great sense of humor, stress level low, very knowledgable, always willing to help, never aloof. Also, north anna is a clean plant. There are worse places to work, but even with the great supervisors I would rather go elsewhere. If I would have been on days I would have either been forced to be a part of the drama or felt sorry for those involved up close and personal. Oh yeah K (special supervisory assistant) was awesome too! Good people no matter what the plant is like.

I worked there in 1990 as a HP and had a blast. house techs were in training then . and went to some darn nices partys.
came back years later working in safety and had a very good time agin nice plant but I was working for the house when I was safety so it made things different and ah still good people.
I had the pleasure of working with Nate hunt and Weegee back then and Jerry Cadwell.

well, here I am. Not liking it here at all >:( I am working night shift and the supervisors on nights seem to be real anal retentive, and lets not talk about the site coordinator, hes in it for self, no care or respect for the contractors AT ALL. When ever he speaks to all of us bartlett techs, its a lecture and I almost have to check my ID to see if I am over 2 years old. The pay is low and the reason we are given is the reputation of the techs safety and past reputation. Well I haven't been here before so none of it refers to me and if you only have a 25% returnee rate, hmmmmm.................... do ya think you should maybe think why???? There are some great house techs but the foreman are hitler type, temper tantrum, perfectionists that don't belong where they are. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. The standards are extemely high for the pay you get and the lodging is high for the diem. Yes, I agreed to come here. Ignorance is bliss. I count on the opinions of individuals here on nuke worker when I go to a place I haven't been, so please be honest when you post. I have a list of 10 reasons why not to come back here and 8 are filled. I am sure I will come up with more than 2 more reasons why not to come here within the next few weeks besides already confirmed for Surry. I hear its worse there. Not as long a walk as N. Anna but attitudes are worse. If its anything like here, with the shared resources from Surry, it won't be fun. The techs that I know here from Surry are as much anal retentive as the night shift supervisors. I didn't know when I came here that All of Dominion power people were my boss. They're not, but some like to think they are.

Ok, ::) it was brought to my attention that there are some good things here. Our foreman, and you know who you are, is a good man, he does take one for the team numerous times each night. He takes good care of us and is trying to convince us that its not a bad place so we'll come back. We were blessed with a good working crew who all carry their weight and one of the house foreman has loosened up some, he actually joked around with us. Maybe it will take the whole outage for them to warm up to us, who knows. I still doubt I will be back.
