Post by: jimmyk on Sep 17, 2011, 02:41
i just completed my nantel part of trying to get red badged for an upcoming outage .
my question is....17 years ago or so i have been arrested twice for purchasing cocaine,
   but now i have been in recovery for 14 years....i havent had a drink or drug since 1997.
what are my chances of getting unescorted access at a nuke plant?

Arrested twice - a pattern
clean since '97 - got proof? or just no arrests.
You may be better working in non-security areas until you have clear answers for these.

Good luck

Do you have a record of negative tests over that period (i.e. pre-hire, post accident tests)?
