I have been trying to get into the nuclear field for quite some time. I have applied to entry level positions and to companies that are going through outages with no luck as of yet. I have already earned my degree (an AAS in electronic engineering technology specializing as an I&C technician) which was given by a joint program consisting of Indian River State College and Florida Power and Light. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Nuclear jobs race spreads to Australia

admin — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:07:36 GMT

Australia also looking (and training) more personnel for the nuclear power renaissance...

ARTICLE

AUSTRALIA will step up the training of nuclear scientists, ensuring it will have the home-grown experts needed to plan, build and run atomic power stations and uranium enrichment plants.

By 2010, 15 nuclear scientists will graduate each year from Sydney University's new Institute of Nuclear Science, to be announced today.

In a partnership with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, which operates the new $400 million Lucas Heights research reactor, it will open next year, offering students a master's degree in applied nuclear science.

The institute's acting director, Clive Baldock, said yesterday many of Australia's nuclear specialists were now trained "in-house" by Lucas Heights.

But, he added, "we don't have the number of nuclear scientists we would need if we went down the nuclear power route".

"It's not just the hands-on people who would be pushing buttons" in energy reactors. Before a power station was built there would have to be a lot of ground work for the regulatory and legislation process. "We don't even have enough people for that."

Still more scientists would be needed if Australia launched a uranium enrichment program.

Although the Federal Government has made no decision to adopt nuclear energy, it recently allocated $12.5 million for research into the next-generation nuclear power reactors.

ANSTO has also launched its own campaign to train 15 post-graduate nuclear scientists a year. The organisation's chief of operations, Ron Cameron, said yesterday the Nuclear Futures Graduate Development Program would also take its first students next year.

Irrespective of whether Australia pursued nuclear energy, "we need to keep our options open", said Dr Cameron. If Australia opted to purchase power reactors "we need to understand the technology, and be a smart buyer".

Professor Baldock said that even if Australia rejected atomic power, more nuclear scientists were needed. His institute would focus on a wide range on nuclear specialties, including medicine, material science, engineering and physics.

Professor Baldock, who is the director of Sydney University's Institute of Medical Physics, predicted the growing demand for radioactive pharmaceuticals and hospital nuclear diagnostic technology would justify training extra specialists.

He expected half the students of his new "world class" training and research institute would be from overseas, including the US.

What about a job promoting nuclear power to the public?

fozzzworth — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:54:31 GMT

I'm a mechanical engineer w/ nuclear emphasis, just out of college for 2 years. It has been a goal of mine to be on the front line of promoting nuclear power. I currently have a career that will most likely take me to the construction side of new nuclear plants, so I'm not headed in the wrong direction by any means. But my true passion is talking to people and teaching about the benefits of nuclear power. I would love to write articles for popular magazines such as Women's Health or Self, etc or give talks or participate in debates about the benefits of nuclear power, but my "job" takes too much of my time. Is there an organization (that I could get a regular paycheck) already in existence that does these things or is this something that I would have to step out in "faith" and go it alone? I've always wanted to work for the NEI, because my vision of what they do is promoting nuclear power. Is this the case or are they bogged down in red tape like every other business that has "nuclear" anywhere in the title? I'm not in a hurry to leave my current job, by any means, but with the amount of hours I put in there, I don't have time for the "promoting nuclear" part of my life vision. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not scared of going out on my own, but the practical side of me would make me wait a couple years to become financially self sufficient while getting started on a new path.

Thanks!

out for a while - looking to get back in

jeffkempka — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:44:26 GMT

I'm a former Navy Nuke looking to get back into the field. The thing is that I got out in 1987.
I was an ET Nuke who served on the USS Enterprise and qualified RO, SRO, control equipment operator, and control point access watch. Also attended quality assurance school at Bangor Trident Base, WA. I was an E-6 when I left.
I got my BS degree in Education right after then and since then taught a bit before moving into the Information Technology field, first as a trainer and then into technical support and network administration. I've been in IT for eleven years now.
So, can anyone estimate at what my chances are in getting employment in the nuclear field? I'm looking for some general direction if there is a chance.
Thanks, Jeff
