I was at Salem, but not Hope. I can remember the access road and the perpetual radar traps day and night. You best do the speed limit. Zero tolerance policy. The area is kinda in the boonies. Salem is kind of rundown little town, so you almost have to stay in Delaware. They love their muskrat in a fine homemade merinade.

JassenB:
Are you guys saying that the area is a slum, high crime, or just dilapidated and/or redneckish?

Nothing would bother me, except if it was a high crime area, probably.

The pay rate that has been tendered seems really, really low in comparison to other plants, but a job is a job for me at this point.

Thanks!

  I worked Salem fall, 05 for the first time in 12 years.  I really like the hp dept but the town of Salem NJ is getting "down and out" looking.  There are motels that look pretty bad but some techs stayed in them.  I stay in Delaware but the drive across the Delaware Memrial Bridge got too challenging for me.  Many house techs drive from MD or PA every day and have to cross such bridges.  I got tired of the congestion and knowing you may be 1.5 hrs or more going about 40 miles.  BUT Hope Creek, spring 06 for the first time was a nightmare.  It was their first Exelon run outage and new hp supervision made it a bad outage for contractors.  The separation in supervision is getting more distinct between the two plants.  Salem is good--Hope Creek is bad.

RRhoads:
worked at Hope Creek years ago...what more could one say??

1)Exelon...if u have been around at ALL you know you it ain't gonna be good!
2) fricken NJ!...wouldn't be my 1st choice!
3)Long drive even from carneys point...there ain't no EASY way of getting to the plant!
Sooooo...what more info would you need ???

If you go ..get your runnin shoes on...or...there are other outages to work at.
you've been informed!@

Lorrie Henson:
For the house folks at Hope Creek and Salem, I have a few questions.....

Do you live in New Jersey or Delaware?  What areas are the best as far as safe and good school districts?  I know to keep out of the city of Salem. 

I have an upcoming interview and would like to check out the areas while I'm there.

Thanks for any and all information.

Lorrie
