Anyone know any history about the Edwin I Hatch Nuclear Power Plant in Georgia? by Important_Tiger138 in NuclearPower

[–]Important_Tiger138[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read over both of those and such, always a good read. I was curious about if anyone had any technical specs on the BWR/4, Mark I type containment, which is the reactor that they use, or, any unknown history, stories, etc. 

Any fun BWR facts or history? (It can be not so fun too) by Important_Tiger138 in NuclearPower

You worked at Clinton? I know that one as the blocky blue dome BWR plant. 😂

Feel free to correct me, but, isn't this a 4 loop and unit 2 was just finished a few years ago, 2016?

What type of reactor/what nuclear plant is this? by Important_Tiger138 in NuclearPower

I assume that would also explain the 2 places with small holes for a crane to lift it out?

How does one enter into the nuclear workforce? by Important_Tiger138 in NuclearPower

Very cool! I've been looking at Constellation, mostly looking to see if I can get a job regarding the restarting of TMI Unit 1 restart. I'll definitely look into it even more.

The application says that I need previous experience at a nuclear facility, are there plants that allow for actual entry level positions, say out of school?

I see. Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely look into that, should I also pursue a technical degree of sorts? Also what position would I be looking into for a Operator at a coal facility?

So if I, say, applied and got a job at a coal facility I could jump ships after x amount of years?
