what are Traveling Senior Rad Control Tech earning per hour?

2nd thing is, that you can leave to go on your next "real road tech job" and have a heck of a wage level in your recent work history to use when discussing wage with subsequent employers.

sew, let's sea... they're was a backup  job this autumn at $45/hr w/ $110 per diem witch had strong denial of existence. then a job posted (several thymes) for $42/hr that was decried as knot bean a real job four road tex.
is their any reason to wonder why wages stagnate in the biz?

[atomicarcheologist]

I'm hearing some disturbing money news. At Commanche Peak, I'm told that RSCS was originally at $33 and $119, and then got cut to $29 and $110 when they got on site. D&Z backup techs confirmed in at $29 & $110. Is this true? If so,  how often is this practiced at the commercial NPP sites?

Correction - RSCS lost the contract, DZ was not back-up, they are primary at Comanche now.

[hamsamich]

RSCS lost they contract because they were underbid by DZ.  They knew it was a possibility but were trying to keep the wages better.  This is straight from the horse's mouth.  I'm not telling you who the horse is.

Thanks to both of you. That makes much more sense than what I was hearing in the bottom of this fifteen foot trench.

I wish! It would make staffing a hell of a lot easier.   If that's a true amount it has to be for the Temp. House Techs they bring in on occasion.

I believe it is... ala Diablo Canyon.
But it still falls into the venue of Traveling Senior Rad Control Tech.

They are PROBABLY referring to traveling CONTRACTOR Sr Techs.  Not HOUSE.  Two VERY VERY different standards.

Its like apples and mustangs.

However, the same personnel fulfill the standards as they move from plant to plant, correct?

[scotoma]

When in doubt. go to the source. There is too much misinformation on the web. Rumors are not truth and speculation is a fools game.

[atomicarcheologist]

When I swing meters with people who have gone in and out of DC and now TP, I know that they are the same personnel.
I don't need no stinking internet research.

That it does, they all come from the same pool of personnel

[S T I G]

The highest wage currently that I have heard of for a traveling road tech (Sr. RCT) is $65.00/hr + perdiem @ LANL.

In April of 84, Numanco was paying 9.50/44 for a fresh out ELT.

6.50/35 VY 78 for fresh ELT. Seismic restraints then TMI caused a shortage driving wages up. Per a union wanting to organize road techs there were only 750 road techs at the time and TMI asked for 300 right after the accident. There were a few techs who had ANSI quals until they had the required ANSI time.

d&z @ $51/hr at bv fore locals.
