You ask how much Techs make. Not enough for what they are responsible for. Its sad when you are covering a union laborer and they are making more then you.

What exactly is an RP tech responsible for? Evaluate a hazard (Radiation) and inform the worker. It's pretty simple, and not life threatening, at least in the normal work of a nuke plant. The union laborer actually does things that are life risking, and has to have a skillset (material handling - forklift, rigging, etc) that is harder than RP.
Sorry to burst your bubble - been in this industry almost 40 yrs. RP is not the lifesaver you believe it is.

Of course, if you don't do your job properly and become "Tech A", it may be a different story. In a nuke plant, a certain amount of knowledge is required, follow written procedures and oral instructions, report to your supervisor, honesty in documentation. The consequences of poor performance is not significant unless it's willful and/or malicious. A traveling road tech is not as lucrative as it once was because of deregulation and management has actually had to figure out what radiation protection really is.
