My NUF was due again this year. I was told it was no longer required at Palo Verde and other commercial plants. I took an online GAP training instead. FYI. I just wonder if it is all contract companies and all plants.
That is part of the "Nuclear Promise". It is all nuclear plants, and all contract companies.
If you have a current NUF, you will be 'grandfathered', as long as you don't take a 2 year break. Other wise, you will need to take a test again.
Everyone WAS supposed be fully compliant as of January 1st this year. Some companies/sites are a little slower to roll it out, so they have until July to be fully compliant with the new process. Until then they 'can' still use the NUF and current process.
I'm working with a guy at my site to understand all of it. I'll keep everyone updated as I understand it fully.
There is a new Fundamentals Part 1 for Jr's and a Fundamentals part 2 for Sr's. If you have a current NUF, you get credit for them, and never have to take them again, as long as you don't have a 2 year break in service.
There is also task quals, to which they are grandfathering some people. -- Again, when I get a clearer picture, I'll update everyone.
