Mcguire or V.C summer?

(1/6) > >>

gamecockdeez:
I have recieved an offer to work as an AO at Mcguire (North of Charlotte). I also recieved an offer from V.C Summer (North of Columbia, SC) today.  V.C summer offered a couple dollars more an hour.  I was wondering if anybody knows anything about the plants good or bad.  Your responses will be greatly appreciated.  Just trying to make a decision.  Thanks.

Fermi2:
Both well running plants of about the same vintage and type. From an AUO Perspective I believe I'd like Summer. Bigger Containment.

From a financial standpoint. McQuire 2 Units = More Outages = More Money but it gets old after awhile.

gamecockdeez:
Thanks Broadzilla.  I didn't think about the two reactors = more frequent outages. I don't know why I didn't think about that.  I do believe SCANA is starting the process to build two new ap1000 reactors at the VC summer site planned to be finished in 2016 and 2019.  I think the fact that they are expanding is a plus as well.

Mike McFarlin:
Take VC Summer. You can get all the OT you want with shared resources. Also, they have 2 new units planned for the site.

gamecockdeez:
Thanks for the advice Mike.  Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is shared resources?  Is that when another plant takes operators/bodies to come work outages for them temporarily?  Thanks in advance.
