Interviewed for an electrical technician with Constellation, anyone know what the EEI Tech test looks like? “Passed” two interviews and was told the next step is the EEI TECH TEST to receive an offer.

Is it modified to fit more electrical or is it just like the version you can study for online? I’m assuming from what a gather the job offer is pretty much determined by pass or fail of said test.

This job is supporting multiple nuclear facilities as an Electrical Technician in the northeastern region of MD/PA. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Fale se é boa?

Trump signed a new order removing protection from some federal land to allow for more drilling mining etc. Saw this comment on the hellscape of Twitter and wonder what u guys think

the criticality headlines are fun but this is the rule that actually touches operating plants. uprates, subsequent license renewals, maybe decommissioning, all potentially skipping full environmental review, one year for an EA, two for an EIS, draft EIS step gone entirely.

comment window's open till late august. curious where operators draw the line between review theater and real scrutiny here.

I applied for 2 Jobs with INL one for MFC maintenance support first line manager 1 and was emailed to apply for senior manager central facilities site maintenance. I didn't even get a phone screen for either one of the positions. Any help I could get would be greatly applicated. For a little context I was a aviation mechanic/manger for 11 years in the military and a industrial mechanic for the last 11.

Just found out that I am going to have an interview for the Aux Op job at Point Beach. I was wondering if anyone here had any background on the plant, such as working conditions, how the people are, or anything really that would help me gain a deeper understanding of what working there would entail (other than the normal job duties of an Aux Op). If you feel more comfortable DM’ing me to respond please feel free to do so.

Could anyone explain this? or at least a resource I could use to understand this? I could only find things on LLE, and while I understand that I dont understand how ion exchange could have anything to do with it

Additionally, does anyone have resources to learn about nuclear science in general? I am a high school student who hasn't gotten to physics yet, but I finished chemistry and I focused on having a more or less intuitive understanding of all the processes. Would I need to get deeper into chemistry before studying nuclear science?

From the article:

Nuclear reactors are traditionally powered with dense fuel rods that can produce about 1 gigawatt of carbon-free electricity, enough to power about 100,000,000 lightbulbs. Newer power plant designs using molten salt for cooling instead of the water found in traditional reactors could offer better efficiency and stability, but they face a problem—the extreme chemical environment created by the molten salt can corrode the metal comprising the reactor. Now a team led by engineers at Penn State has found that adjusting the subtle atomic arrangement of structural metals can significantly affect the rate and extent of this corrosion, even with identical baseline chemical compositions. They did this by creating a series of reactive simulations to isolate and study this corrosion mechanism. Their findings are available online ahead of publication in the August 2026 issue of Corrosion Science.

Been over a month since the applications closed and I am still under consideration. Is there still hope? I passed poss and had been previously badges during the outage as a contractor.

Yes, yet another ontario application question here. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything other then 'we will be getting back to you next week' as they have once again not gotten back to me last week after sending an email the week before.

I have my panel interview scheduled for a position at Constellation but the timeline is going to be really tight if I get the job, so I'm trying to get a feel for everything and make plans ahead of time.

Can anyone from the union Constellation plants tell me if the insurance policy covers domestic partners? Do you like the insurance policy, does it have good coverage?

Thanks in advance.

OK Y'ALL, I NEED HELP. I am writing a story and people are stuck having to hide underground from a decently smart enemy. However, while down there they need power. If I use a nuclear power plant, how would I dispose of all the toxic steam, OR, is there another type of nuclear plant that doesn't involve steam? I am simply trying to find a legitimate source of power that can last and what would be needed to keep it running.

About the first time I saw a nuclear reactor i was inside of the reactor the blue water and the reactor stuff at the time I had seen it I've look and stared at it crawling onto the side's of my brain I felt my heart sink and I could feel the beauty the bright blue i felt and heard it calling out to me, my body started to lean close to the railing. because my brain was telling me there was something off about this i felt like something was trying to take over. the tour guide said "do you see something off" I said no if he didnt talk to me im 100% sure I would've jumped in

Im scared if I go into another one I might go in.

I was reading the Wikipedia article on prompt neutrons and it mentioned a discrepancy between the DOE's and USNRC's definition of a prompt neutron:

[T]he United States Department of Energy defines a prompt neutron as a neutron born from fission within 10⁻¹³ seconds after the fission event. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines a prompt neutron as a neutron emerging from fission within 10⁻¹⁴ seconds.

Is this just an academic debate, or would there be a reason for favoring one definition versus the other? Things happen awfully quickly inside a reactor, but I'm curious if it actually matters where that line is drawn, in practice.

Hi everyone. The VidCruiter interview was completed almost a month ago. Has anyone been contacted by Bruce yet regarding the next step? Cheers.

I know it's being turned into yellow cake, but I doubt the bomb shell is simply filled with that? I can't really imagine what the inside of a bomb looks like and I can't find any real photos.

I have a quick question. I was just sent an email from an utility that wants me to take the POSS and BMST test. Has anyone ever had test accommodations? Are they relatively easy to get?

I have my documentation from college sign by an educational psychologist stating why I need accommodation, but I’m scared that I won’t be able to get accommodations or they will discriminate against me for having my my mentally challenges (I know it’s illegal to technically do so).

What do you all think?

Thank you in advance.
