You didn’t mention how many years you worked in the nuclear field. I was informed by other "long-time in the field" technicians, when the stimulus package came out, Hanford did a massive hiring of people. When the money ended they did a massive laying off a people. It was claimed that many of the people hired for the stimulus package were not given sufficient training so that when the layoffs came, and they competed with other longer-term better trained technicians, they were at a disadvantage when there were few outages and few positions. If you are one of these “stimulus” technicians, you have to decide if you wish to join the fray are willing to be at the bottom again and go anywhere, you eventually will find openings. If you are longer-term and pre-stimulus trained technician, you have to be like “Avis” and try harder and you will prevail.
