I tried to contact everyone on the Westinghouse list for any updates for entry level decon and couldnt get ahold of anyone. Scott from RSCS said they will try and have their schedule for fall by the end of this week or beginning of next week. Cora from DZ said they are not doing entry level at this time but to fill out your wish list on their portal in the mean time. These recruiters have to go through call backs for people who the plants want to work again, and then they will try and open up positions for entry level.

Just noticed the fall outages are now open to apply on their website: https://www.dzrptech.com Login upload resume to your account then click on "apply for positions". They also have NISP procedures and RP study material available. 👍

I work at the Brunswick plant, 7 days a week, 12 hour shifts, so I'll touch on the major points. After accepting the offer letter, a week or so later I received multiple emails with the same message containing my report date to King's Mountain in NC, where their training center is. At King's, it was a full week of a large amount of computer based training, along with a few actual classroom trainings. A few people seemed to have trouble completing the computer trainings, but most finished quickly. During this time, they're also working on the final steps of your background check so they can issue you a Duke security badge to gain access to Brunswick. Once you've completed all training and you finally obtain your badge, you have to report to Brunswick early the next morning, a 5 hour drive. The first day at the actual plant, you'll first report to a separate education center and go through some onboarding, before heading off to the actual plant with your fellow new arrivals. The education center assigned a veteran worker who's worked at Brunswick before to serve as a guide for me and the others to escort us to parking, and the various admin buildings we needed to go to for further plant checking in. Eventually I reported to the RP/Decon building nicknamed the 'Spa' and checked in at the front desk. There's various departments for decon's and RP's to actually work in, and the front desk assigned me to the Drywell dept. There are other departments such as refuel, general purpose (BOB?), reactor. Everyday I arrive by 6am to the Drywell briefing room for a morning safety brief and general info brief with my fellow Drywell decons and RP's, and afterwards head to our break room. If you're not working, you will generally always be expected to be in the break room and be available. I usually head to breakfast after the morning brief. From what the veteran workers here tell me, Brunswick's cafeteria is actually considered to be the best of all the Duke Energy plants in the area (which are Brunswick, McGuire, Catawba, and Oconee). It serves typical breakfast food like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits & gravy, hashbrowns. The default meal costs 8 bucks and change, but you can ask for extra eggs or whatever for increased cost. Lunch always has burgers and fries available, along with a rotating menu of healthier food such as grilled chicken with various vegetables.

Just wondering where everyone is at in their Timeline... Sent a request for training to WH, got a response in 24 days. Completed the e-courses on the 29th day. Currently waiting for the Comprehensive online test at 3 days since reaching out again. Guessing my next steps are to pass this and scheduling the Fun1? I've gone through everything @Michael Williams has posted here and on Reddit. I'm 4-5 passes through the official materials and 1-2 passes through other related from online resources. Aiming to go straight into RP and just waiting on the timeline that nuclear apparently moves at. What's been your experience?
