1st Outage-New to Nuke prep List
This covers the basics- if there is anything I may be missing let me know so the newbies getting in have everything they need beforehand. Of course this is a whole new world so it is impossible to add everything you will need to know along the way but this should be most of the upfront info needed. Considering making a video at the plant I am currently working at as RP to showcase a lot of the similar visuals you will see during an outage. If this is something you would find of value let me know and I will post it in here.

@Sean McDaniel no nothing yet. Shabana gave me some leads for possible other routes to get into nuclear since it's been hard to get into Westinghouse decon, at least for me.
Fall opportunities
If you haven't been badged or are looking to try something different, Trident Power Support Services are hiring FME (foreign material exclusion) monitors for the fall season. (You can find the details on their Facebook page). They do hire new to nuke and/or no experience, so it can be a great way to get your foot in the door. Please let me know if you have any questions. I worked the spring season for them and got to work on the refuel floor which was super cool.

I would love more information Shabana! I'm not sure I'll have any luck getting on boarded for the fall season with Westinghouse for entry level decon. Is it a short term contract similar to the plants we see here and do they have multiple locations?

Fall Outages - where are you headed?
Just curious to see where everyone is headed this fall outage season. I realize things can change last minute, but I’m curious where everyone is headed and if I’ll be working along side anyone new??? My answer is in the comments 😊

@Matloc Mosher almost every day but I did give it a break some weeks or days as to not overwhelm or annoy them. The last I had contact with her was a few weeks ago. As we draw closer to Fall, I hope they finish recruiting call backs and start calling first timers

@Matloc Mosher yeah I will try and cut back the calls but try and go for emailing here and there just so my name is around. And I was hopefully going to leave mine around that time too. I didnt make it on for the spring outages and dont want to miss the fall ones. We'll just have to be patient
Outage Tracker - Need critiques
Good morning to all. Yesterday I built an outage tracker with info on grid stays, plant specific info, green means offline and contractor work needed. Red means online and no contractor work needed. Yellow means soon to be outage as in next season or coming soon. The data is not all correct yet as you will find out when you check this out but I would like critiques to see how you all feel about layout, UI, idea, and what other information or use cases you want to see in here. Data will be accurate once this is no longer in beta. Plant location and name are all correct. Let me know! https://grid-map-preview.netlify.app/

I'll be able to take a deeper look into later but from a quick glance it looks good Michael! Do you plan on having ongoing outages or just seasonal? Thank you for taking the time to make this outage tracker!

@Michael Williams sounds good. Were you still in the works of potentially being a recruiter for Westinghouse?
Recruitment
Is calling recruiters or emailing for information a M-F thing or is it more of a keep calling until somebody answers the phone 7 days a week thing?

I try to call at least twice a day M-F. It's difficult to get ahold of anyone and I've only got through a couple of times. But the recruiters are swamped. Just keep trying
