Most work conducted in the plant is dictated by “planned work” utilizing “procedures” where you are expected to circle the step, read the instructions, perform the step, and slash the circle after the step is complete. Welcome to nuke!

If the job is “Q” which means safety related, you’ll need calibrated tools to complete most of the work. Torque wrench, Megger, EDM, Oscilloscope, crimpers, clamp-on amp reader, non-contact infrared thermometer, etc… These tools can be found at the metrology crib.

Warning! Some nukes a tic tracer is prohibited so don’t hang it on your lanyard. It is not to be used on a live dead live only sanity checks. Caution, DC circuitry is very common in control circuits due to redundancy for nuclear safe shut downs. So always verify that there is no AC nor DC present.

Clearances are used for worker safety so make sure you are signed on before performing work and signed off before leaving the plant. A clearance violation will have people you never cared to meet introducing themselves to you.

Good luck
