Title: Interview Test for Chemistry/Radiation Protection
Post by: wrenchmonkey91 on Mar 27, 2016, 05:19
So I'm a prior ELT, and I'm being flown out to California to interview for a position as a chemical and radiation protection technician and on the schedule of interviews there's an hour that just says "Test". I've been out of the navy for about 3 years now just being a full time student, so I'm a bit out of practice if the test is reactor principals or anything too technical. I'm just curious if anyone has any insight as to what this test could be like, as well as possible field related questions the RP and Chemistry foremen could be asking in the interview afterwards? Thanks

Can't help on the interview questions, but it's my guess they want you to take the NUF.

Good luck; that's a great plant to work at.

well, that's the exact wording from the foreman who turned me onto the position in the first place. Clearly I'm just a bit new to this but thanks for the input (?) i suppose.

start with normality and molarity and wind your way thru anything else in that direction.  Avogadro's number anyone?

Every day?  Are they starved for other conversational topics?
