I am trying to find information on which nuclear plants have a physical fitness test and which do not, and if they do what is their testing. Can anyone help.

Word on the street here is that, although we have a fitness test, it is 'wicked easy'...
We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can't think what anybody sees in them.      - B. Baggins

At the plants where security also qualifies Fire Brigade, it usually the Fire Brigade requirements that are more stringent. Are you concerned about not meeting a physical Bona Fide Condition of Employment?

I just took my physical for an Aux Ops job today. They took my height, weight, blood pressure (standing, sitting, and after running in place for 2 minutes), a vision test, color blindness test, hearing test, smell test, lung capacity test, blood test, urine test, and an EKG.  I thankfully didn't get the "turn your head and cough" or the "please turn around and bend over the table". I qualified for operations and for fire brigade.

It is an NRC regulation that all nuclear power plants have fitness tests for their officers.  So in short, your answer would be, all of them.
