Female Nuclear Power Plant Operators?
BeckyLane321:
The reality is you have an excellent chance of getting an interview. Nuclear Power Stations are hurting for plant operators. One thing that is always lacking are QUALIFIED FEMALE candidates. I believe your chances are extremely good for an interview. Be prepared, confident, and go after the job if it is what you truly want! EEOC aside its still a man's field.... Being a female may help get your in the door but only your abilities will keep you in the job. Good Luck!!

We have a husband & wife AO here at VY - he was hired first, then she hired on a year or so later. They are on different crews, but seem to make it work for them. Both are respected AOs. Currently have 1 female in licensing class, a couple as AOs, 2 more in AOI....
Don't know when we are hiring again, but Entergy posts on Nukeworker... ;D

Well said. And being an employee of the evil empire, I can say that they are very interested in diversifying the work force. Good luck to you!
