I am currently a student, and I am working at Comanche Peak right now doing my co-op. I will graduate in August with a Environmental Health and Safety major and a Health Physics minor. Does anyone know the easiest way to get into the nuclear industry besides going on the road? Any feedback would be great.Thanks
"Don't know if your interested, but Hanford is still in the hiring mod for techs..even Jrs with college"AND you would get to live in the Tri-Cities !!!!!
I thought about that. I am thinking it might be a little difficult having three young children. I also owe a year of my life to the NRC since they have paid for my schooling. Any other ideas?
Are there really that many junior jobs at Hanford 105kw?
contact a freind of mine named mike shannon hes a supervisor down there in yur texas office of the nrc(the ground shakes when he would walk on site) tell himm kevin brow told yu to call him he was my push in the nukes ask him on which way to go plus hes got the pull for a nice job with agency
Ok I was in Salt Lake City two weeks ago at the Health Physics conference, I heard from several presenters how badly the commercial nuke industry needed people and how many jobs were out there. Does anyone know what they were talking about because everyone is looking for people with at least three years experience. Can anyone tell me how to gain that experience without going outage to outage or going the DOE route.
Sorry. Are you asking how you can get experience without working?Amigo, what you need is a......................UNION!
What you have to do if you don't want to work outages is either go to school and get a degree. That will get you some time towards your ANSI quals or find a plant that is hiring and take a house job. In my opinion that is the best route to take.Even if you join a UNION with "no experience" you will still have to work outages to get your time in; and get the experience you need to become a better Rad-Worker.
You really should be looking into getting a house job in Safety instead of RP anyway. Safety personnel are usually paid more. The Utilities are always looking for Safety people. Good luck
