[apex_predetor]

Good Morning All,

I had an interview for a senior level engineering position last week.  I was just wondering what the process is for the physical, psych, and other background checks? 

CAn anybody point me towards another post or webiste?

Thanks for all of teh help and guidance.

You're kidding, right? "Senior level engineering" with no search, spell-checking or effort? Was that a University of Phoenix degree?

On-topic: For background checks etc, search "FFD" as a starter.

Sick baby in one hand trying to type with the other.  Didn't work out too well!

I don't know the industry terminology that would identify background checks appropriate for nuclear workers, or what is mandated by the NRC. 

I hoped that putting down the title of "engineer;" somebody here might be able to discriminate between what checks are required for engineering staff, as opposed to janitorial, security, operators, maintenance, etc.

Pretty much everyone that has access inside a nuke plant has the same background checks. Physical is about the same, a bit more stringent for licensed operators.

http://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php - try here for a start - type in search terms (nuke plant physical, background check, nuclear clearance, etc). Read a bit, most of the info is already here.

Search for interview stuff too. Interviews follow a particular format now - Star or something like that...

Hope the kiddo feels better soon - I remember those days.

Good luck -

Thanks for the info.  I went through the interview last week.  All STAR questions (I hate those things)!
