So I’m not looking for a job at a nuclear plant, but I do work for a company that periodically does various types of work at nuke plants. My company suggested I try to get my access badge so I can go on some of these jobs my company does. I know all about the process but a week ago I made a really stupid decision and ended up getting charged with a DUI. It’s my first offense and I have no criminal background otherwise. In my state there’s a program for first time offenders where you take some alcohol safety classes, do some community service, pay fines and after a period of months the charges are dropped and your record is expunged. So I wouldn’t be entering a guilty plea or getting a conviction.
I’ve read threads on here where people with much worse criminal backgrounds got approval. But I’m guessing since this was recent and still pending I wouldn’t receive approval? My job duty doesn’t rely on having access so I can still perform my job if it’s not at nuclear plants. But I’m sure if my work sees a denial and the reason they’ll probably fire me anyway. So I’m pretty much screwed right?
