Talk About: Indian Point 2 & 3

Chelios · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 05, 2002, 03:43 »

IP2 is what it is. They have a confrontational style of management founded on the belief that the other guy is always out to get you. A self fullfiing prophecy. They often made the other guy want to get them just because of the treatment they got. The people there adapt to that mentality. A new person coming to IP2 for the first time would often get ignored to insulted until the people got to know them. And then rude was the style of personal interaction. Once you got used to it, it was tolerable. I have to admit that I have not been back since '93. A combination of bad behavior, bad traffic, long commutes, ghetto living conditions, high cost of living, and inadequate per diem leaves this place as a low choice. Not all the new Jrs of the 80s vintage were whiners. They all adapted to their environment in their own way.

For the most part the folks that run that place seemed to view anyone not from that area as an inbreed. They sorely lack for even moderate management that cares for more than themselves. And what an ugly place. [smiley=smash.gif] [smiley=smash.gif]

hey!i'm pro-nuke but that place needs to be shutdown

2techs · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 10, 2003, 01:21 »

popdaddy:

Are you saying that Indian Point as a whole be shut down? If you are unable to draw a distinction between the operating units, than perhaps you have been away for so long that you are suggesting that unit 1 be shut down.

LMDeane · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 12, 2003, 06:33 »

Not being a union member and coming from out-of-town, found the place to be moderately uncooperative, at the worker-level, when trying to expedite objectives. Decerned a bit of management-labor tension about the place.

Too bad they're so high-profile and stressed now. Prevaling pucker-factor seems to have cost a bud of mine his job last season, for what would've ordinarily been blown off as superfluous, yet irreverent, chatter anywhere else. [smiley=poke2.gif]

I really like how those bastards give you the layoff notice.

Your getting a 2 day notice.

today your leaving and they do that on a monday so you can pay a whole week at the motel your staying at and get screwed out of your money.

Okay: Maybe I am a bit nuts. I enjoy working at both IP2 and IP3.I will go back there anytime I can.

LMDeane · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 13, 2003, 05:17 »

LadyRad, although I said that IP-2 could use a bit more umpfh in the human relations and teamwork areas, I too have had an enjoyable tour or two there and wouldn't mind a return tour myself; despite their current state of post-911 anxiety. [smiley=hop_hand.gif]

Chelios · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 13, 2003, 06:14 »

IP2 has bin berry berry good to me. I have had some enjoyable times there also. They have great restaurants, and there are lots of things to do nearby. The area immediately around the plant is ugly, the cost of living is very high, and the traffic sucks. The attitudes of the people at the plant leaves a little to be desired. I haven't been there in 10 years, and I won't say that I'll never go back (chaos=cash), but there must be a reason that I haven't been back. The extra security measures must add another negative to the list. There certainly is a long list of negatives to tolerate in order to work there.

RADBASTARD · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 13, 2003, 07:16 »

Well on fox news tonight with shepard smith ip2& 3 made in on.They said if terrorists attacked the plant if there would be a radiation leak it could effect 10 million people in a 50 mile area because their systems,responses and procedures are out of date and lacking and need to be updated.They said it would affect 300k people in a 10 mile area that could maybe die from direct effects. Have these people a clue? ip needs to update the way they treat people though

One good thing I remember from the late 80's was that every desk and cabinet and toolbox seemed to have a stack of porn mags in it

Yes, there are long-standing problems (poor attitude, poor management, different mind-set, processes, pick your favorite..), but nothing can be fixed overnight and it will take time. It has to get better.

LMDeane · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 21, 2003, 03:15 »

One of life's most cruscial lessons is that survival is awarded to those who successfully adapt to environmental fluctuations in a timely manner. The antithesis of this, of course, is assured extinction.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

DesertDog · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 26, 2003, 05:56 »

First, you shouldn't lump IP2 and IP together because they belong to two different companies (with very different management styles), and have since roughly 1978.

Regarding another post: Ghetto living conditions? Huh? The Hudson Valley is beautiful and diverse. If you choose to live in a dump that's your problem.

I haven't worked there since the early 90's, but I know the area is still WOW. And just an hour train ride away to NYC. Museums, historical sites, Broadway, Dave Letterman, culture! What's not to like?

HouseSnake · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 26, 2003, 06:45 »

Ummmm, Desertdog - IP2 & 3 are under new management, and are one site now. Ever heard of a little company called Entergy ? They were bought well over a year ago. The fence between the sites is down, and while most of the people remain assigned to individual units, they swap back and forth easily, and are under a single VP - Fred Dacimo

duke99301 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 26, 2003, 10:22 »

I been an Hp there a few times and I was the last time there the safety manger for a comapny, I worked both sites and I like them very much,
had some goodtimes there in the old days we all been to the step off pad.

fish lips made quite a living there before he got picked up

loved to camp there in peekskill on top of the mountain back in the 80's

good greek food at the olympic and loved the way the chinese use to hang the chickens in the front windows

"Fish Lips" you are refering Stan The Man perhaps?

no jack curtis i believe his name was he was a contracvt decon supervisor for bartlett i think he was escourted off site by the fbi back in 88 or 89

Anyone know how to get a foot in the door as far as work goes there? I'm a navy ELT getting out soon wanting to have something nailed down before I'm out so I can just transfer into a good job.

snowbound12566 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 12, 2003, 02:58 »

Go to the Entergy.com web-site.
Entergy owns IP2 and 3 and is the second largest nuclear provider in the country.
Its also an excellent company.

lowlrc · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 12, 2003, 08:32 »

In 86' it was fun. The SOP every night, sneaking over to unit-1 and up to the dog house for a smoke of what ever. and who could forget fish lips

Luscious · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 30, 2003, 05:18 »

What no outage poop talk, I'm disappointed! Oh yeah that is right, everything is done on the cheap, so there is only a handful of roadies here!

IPREGEN · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 30, 2003, 08:08 »

6 senior slots not filled because of no-shows or folks that backed out. So you gotta realize the next time it's staffing time the utility will say we did it with only this many people, so when some of them don't show next time the utility we ask for even less, until the day comes when there are no more road techs. Stick to your commitments or you will be scratching your head someday wondering why your not needed anymore.

Well, I've been to IP2 2 times. The first time was the worst experience of my life. But in all actuallity it didn't have that much to do with the plant as a whole. I just seemed to have a little black cloud hanging over me and let's just say as long as I was at IP it was there. 4 months of pure hell. All I did was sit at a checkpoint and twidle my thumbs for the entire time. And I know that is a bad thing to say, but I can still say that IP2's containment is the only one I don't lobby to go into.

The only reason that I went back a second time was because my husband wanted to go back. I had a great time the second go around. I can say I learned alot from that outage. I mean there were definately things that happen there that you don't see at most plants these days.

My only suggestion is to stay out of the can, and if you like the clothes you have, don't wear them across any RCA line.

What gets me about these groups is what makes them think the opportunity of ramming planes into Indian Point wasn't available to them when they hit the WTC. My god they flew right over it. But something 100+ stories in the air is a little bigger and easier target than hitting a containment dome. They didn't have to be the best pilot in the world just aim at the big things standing up high in the air.

There have been several changes at Indian Point in the last two years. There have been HP supervisor changes a new RPM and a larger ALARA group. The way work is covered in the VC will also be different from now on.

NYJOHN · « **Reply #42 on:** Dec 18, 2004, 10:01 »

This is John Neff, no, I'm enjoying retirement. I'm a stay at home retiree - I say goodby to my wife when she goes to work in the morning. She won't retire because I'm home. I'm trying to make up for more than 20 years of neglecting house repairs. I have nothing but fond memories of both the house techs and contractors that worked at the plants. I believe we all had a good time working together. The hard work, of yours and a little of mine, finally paid off. I hope you all have the same opportunity to retire and set a way of life that you want.

Iowa_HP · « **Reply #43 on:** Dec 19, 2004, 07:35 »

Congrats to you Neffie! I enjoyed working with you when I was @ IP2 a couple of years ago. You were great! Enjoy your retirement you earned it!
