Title: bipolar diagnosis disqalifying for nuclear operator
Post by: ned_flanders on Sep 11, 2017, 03:13
Greetings Nukeworker community,
I am unsure about forum etiquette here and didn't want to hijack anybody's thread.

I am interested in a career as a nuclear operator since I have a physics degree and might qualify.
Would being diagnosed with bipolar disqualify me? If I had a note from a psychiatrist could that ameliorate it?

I have a consistent work history despite two hospitalizations. The treatment has been working well for a long while now. The illness has caused me problems in the past during manic episodes but relatively few in the long periods between episodes. My entire job history is 10-12 hour shift work if that is useful information.
Thanks, Flanders.
