ELT vs Senior RCT

<< < (2/3) > >>

GARYGWOODJR:
Thanks to everyone for the insight.

moodusjack:
As a former ELT and radcon shift supervisior I found the RCSS work more helpful when I shifted to the outside world of HP.  Probably because RCSS concentrated more on 108 qualifications vis-a-vis radiochemistry.

Anyway, since you are fairly new to the whole thing out here, why don't you learn a little about decommissioning? 

Go to http://www.epa.gov/radiation/marssim/ or http://www.orau.gov/essap/marssim.htm
and download the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual.  Then try out for an FSS Engineer spot.

alphadude:
actually the chemistry experience will help- this is another qualification and gives you insight as to why things work the way they do in the ole power plant.

Phurst:
Drywell....learn the term drywell. It was my biggest surprise. If you are smart leap right into operations and stay away from HP. There are more places to go if you can qualify into RO/SRO than any other field 'cept egenearing'

wolf459:
BIG differance between ELT and RCT at DOE site is ALPHA. We didn't deal with spent fuel in the navy unless you were on the refuel overhaul crew, I personally have dug SNF slugs out of decomitioned FSBs that were full of dirt for 30 + years. Alpha smears of 145,000 dpm/100cm2 outside doseable mud at about 1R in a thimble sized piece. What fun.
