I have a question relating to figure 2-2 of ACAD 10-001.
Specifically, the block labeled "Does candidate have 2 years or more in a position equivalent to reactor operator position at a military reactor?" The exact circumstance is a non-ET operator with less than 2 years onboard ship as an EWS, or PPWS. The follow on command was a non-prototype duty, followed by EAOS.
Now, in the INPO document "ACAD 10-001, Guidelines for Initial Training and Qualification of Licensed Operators Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)", there is a question which deals with "Total Military Nuclear Experience" which states that an NEC is good from issue to removal, so throughout career transitions to non-nuclear billets, training commands, etc, the "Total Military Nuclear Experience" continues to accumulate, but I'm not so sure I can use this guidance on the "equivalent to RO operator position" requirement.
Can I get some guidance on how other utilities count EWS/PPWS/PPWO time?
Thanks very much in advance!
Two years of actually standing the watch. If they do not have that, they won't be eligible. Like it says, "in the position of..."

By the way, look at the definition section as well.

"In the position of.." is how I read it.
What are you referring to in the definitions?
The defenition of total military nuclear experience. Also note that that term is used in flow chart 2-1, not on 2-2. You're reading it correct, no interpretation necessary. They use total experience for determining direct ro eligibility.

Thanks, Justin.
I read it like you do.

You're welcome!
