I recently had an offer from TVA for the SGPO position at Browns Ferry. Did my medical today and at the end of everything the nurse practitioner told me that I may not be eligible for hire since I had a history of cancer. She said I could do the training but would not be able to work my way up to a "solo" operator because of NRC regulations and TVA doesn't like to hire if they know I cannot complete the "ladder." How true is this and what are the stipulations? I was diagnosed at age 22 and am now 25 and have been clear since.
As for the "solo" operator does that mean that I could never apply for my operator license or just move up to SRO etc?
