NLO Training

[dirac]

Anyone have any knowledge of training period--overtime after qualified--and/or pay progressions at SONGS for NLO's?

Initial training is about 6-9 months. Secondary and GFES. Then on shift for about a year and then primary training for about 4 months. I think NLOs start at 28/hr and progress towards 35. Overtime is decent but due to the new NRC work hour rules you can only get about 4 overtime shifts every 5 weeks.

A quick shout out to all my fellow new Limerick NLO's that qualified on time and thanks to all the Operators and Trainers that supported us.

Now bring on the OT.

Only for a little while until the NRC hour regulations kick in... in the meantime enjoy!

The NRC Regulations won't end OT. They'll only require one to document it for approval after lower hours.

True, but having to justify the OT to the NRC sure puts a lot of pressure to avoid having to do it in the first place. Thats been my impression at least.

BS you don't have to justify anything. It's no different than it is today. You write the exemption, your PM gives approval and it's audited., this just makes you write up the forms with fewer hours.

I have to agree with Brodzilla, research the plant and the area!  Make sure your family can live in the area.
