I just saw on Entergy's website that they're hiring a new class of Aux Operators. Is it worth applying? VY might close in as little as two years. When are they planning the class? the typical pipeline for AOs could take a year to see qualified operators, then they work there for another year, then what? Back to job hunting?
Benwah033:
VY is a cash cow of a plant for Entergy. VT needs the electricity produced by VY, and as the looming shutdown approaches, it will become glaringly more obvious that the greenest solution is to extend VY's license.
Entergy will be challenging first the denial from the state, and then the right of the state to deny a federal license. The battle is far from over, and hiring for another NLO class is just another sign that Entergy believes that VY will continue to operate.

I work for entergy not @ VY but @ Fitz, entergy cancelled its planned spin off of all northeast utilities, check the future on that one, entergy will be in a battle not only at VY but also at Pilgrim which is having problems with mass about its license extension and as we all know indian point is battling with all the ultra liberals from NYC and NYS for its license renewal.......
