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.

After taking the first exam I was given access to begin studying for the second set of courses. I have emailed the training contact at WH and haven’t gotten a response. Anyone in here completed the Jr. RP program through WH recently?? I have a couple questions and would love to know if anyone has the answer - 1. Are we expected to complete the course work for the second set of courses BEFORE the 1 week training? Quizzes and all? 2. Have you received any info from WH with further details about the training? Thanks in advance!

If you are going to the Duke outages this upcoming season. Comment below so we can all connect and possibly find roommates

Unless something odd happens, it sounds like I’ll be doing the full Duke run starting September 5th. If anyone else is doing this and looking for a roommate to save some money, message me or comment on this post!

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.
