Mental Health and working in the Nuke industry
« on: Jul 21, 2017, 12:57 »
I do not know if this is the right place to ask this question but it is one that is weighing on me.


I know that in the Navy, a person who is taking psychotropic medication or has a mental health hospitalization is disqualified from being a nuke. I remember that even taking Chantix would disqualify someone. Is this the same for the civilian nuke world? Can anyone direct me to a source where I can find verified information about this?


Thank you in advance.

I know for a fact you can be a nuke at a naval shipyard as a DON civilian employee long as you can get a security clearance.  I was on anti-depressants when I hired in.
