You forgot to mention how awesome the Cafe is. It has a Pizza Hut Express and many other options.

It was an "open book" test on the computer, but a lot of the material on the test in not in the procedures they let you use. Also procedures are hard to navigate.
House people are pretty nice. Plant is big with lots of territory to cover. Parking is far away from plants. Depending on which unit worked, the walk on the inside is as long as the parking lot walk. They also have a car checkpoint before you get to the plant, allow for plenty of time as it can get backed up quickly.

I lived in nw phoenix when I worked there and it took at least an hour to an hour and 1/2 to get to work area in plant.
Good luck!

Palo Verde is 100 miles minimum for PD and since I have to produce a state issued ID, they will figure out that I don't live that far away. So be it said here or not, I think Nuke HR reps remember 2+2=

Here is the thing......the "Nuke HR reps" you are referring to, may very well know 2+2, but whether or not you get per diem is based on the fact you qualify according to contract rule. Like it was being pointed out to you......if you are going to travel home everyday you will not get per diem no matter what the home office tells you.....even if you are driving 100 miles to and fro everyday........ask the techs who have experienced this long before you came along!!!! The bottom line read the fine print!!!! You will be filling out paperwork upon arrival and most of the time per diem is fully explained in writing.... Bartlett does not believe in ENTITLEMENT !!!!! I am telling you this before you find out the hard way and 3 weeks in you receive a check for twenty dollars for a 72 hour work week because they have figured out you are not paying for a place to stay for the outage and all you can do is accept the facts based on the clause in the paperwork that no one ever reads but agrees to

I assure you that I will make sure everything is read before I sign anything. Good looking out. But I know that in order to get per diem, PV's policy is 100 miles out+. If I lived that far away, I wouldn't be driving home every night. Maybe on Saturday night...... And I already know that I am NOT getting PD. Thanks for the comment.
