Title: new to the world of outages
Post by: cole256 on Dec 09, 2008, 09:15

I've worked an outage at TVA.  It was a short one I believe (5 weeks) but I don't know too much about them really I went through the process because of my mom.  Everyone at the plant seems to know her or even knew I was her son even though I had never seen most of them before. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm pretty green to many things about this type of work.  I was just wondering how would I go about working at other plants and other places?  I read one post where people gave advice, it was pretty good stuff.  I don't really go out unless I go with my girlfriend; I don't drink; and I read not to loan people money.  Is there any other advice?

Oh sorry.  I'm just a laborer but I would like to learn how to be something else.  I'm hoping i can get into an operator class.

Actually, AOs or EOs as it may be in the Exelon system have been known to become shared resources during outages.
