I'm in training to be a reactor operator at a nuke plant.
What quals/skills they need to be considered?
I work as a plant operator at a large coal plant...was hired in part due to my aviation background(CFI)...and could not take the pay cut to stay in aviation (CFI or the regionals). Operations pays good at about 80k to well over 100k in you want to work overtime, great perks, health care, 401k with a 9% match. The down side is you will many weekends and afternoon or night shift for years. Due to living close to the plant (6 miles) my time away from home averages 8.4 hours per day and no long duty days that I get paid for less than half the time. Still have a part time CFI work and fly Angel flights every few weeks. Still have SJS but can't make it pay. Also have a coworker who was a C-J driver and lost his charter gig.
My old man retired from Watts Bar I believe as a Unit Supervisor a couple of years back, did some stints at the training center there, wrote clearances and procedures. He's contracting at Robinson in SC now writing procedures and loves it.I'm in training to be a reactor operator at a nuke plant.
Dare I ask what the pay range is about at a nuclear plant worker? I've thought about maintaining wind turbines, but I think I'll keep on the UAS track. Still interesting to know what your new field averages.

Thats an awesome work schedule, too.
Wait until the giant paychecks come in and you're not working on the weekend... or you work on the weekend and make a ton of money to buy yourself a Medium sized Green Egg, and then after two more weekend work you decide you really should have bought the extra large and sell me the Medium used.Thanks.
So far, I really enjoy it.
That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.I've made up my mind. I'm going to go live in a trailer down by the river. I hear it's a simple life, and quite possibly I'll share my experiences to young adults who are confused in life some day.
