Oh, it matters. Marssim: I feel you understood more how my question was intended. It was just a talking point. I'm 22 and looking at the SSS-IT so I was curious as to how young you guys have been seeing the younger crowd acquire theSRO status.
Thanks for your input too Justin, are you an instructor now or currently in a class?
No age has nothing to do with it. At the minimum it's 3 years AFTER you get a job as an engineer at a plant.
Intern time counts. The key is you actually have to be at the plant for 3 years. i'm certain region 2 would not let the guy go up for a license. they shot down one of our guys who had 3 years but it was at corporate. in any event he can get the license but the nrc will hold it until he meets the requisite time.
^^THIS is why I don't understand how that kid in my class is there. He said something about counting his intern time. I don't know all the rules involved, but when he told me he'd been in engineering only a year, I scratched my head.
ACAD requires 3 years responsible nuclear plant experience, but will allow up to 2 years of ABET engineering curricula to count toward that.
At SNC the degree gives 18 of the 36 month experience. My reference is the lead instructor for SRO training at the plant I'm going for so hopefully they'll give me an interview. Plus I'm pretty sure I'm the only new grad that took and passed the MASS/POSS since I appeared to be the youngest in the room by 10 to 15 years. I did a lot of research on the APx10^3 and he and I discussed my knowledge which is why he recommended me for the position. The real reason why I'm overly inquisitive.
Yeah you're right, the paper I have has that at the top I believe. It a handout listing the qualifications of a "trainable or non-trainiable SRO" My mistake for missing that.
