i have an interview scheduled for project engineer for Bruce power site and i want some tips for the interview preparation. the interview would focus on stakeholder management, commissioning and behavioral questions. Any suggestions or resources that can help in the preparation as i don't have a nuclear experience.

Looking for some advice and thought maybe this sub could help. I’m approaching my 30s and I’m considering a career change to something a bit more stable. I’m currently into flipping houses, but I have a background in construction and went to school for accounting. Located in Tennessee, I’m close to some TVA facilities and I have family that has retired from TVA. I don’t mind getting my foot in the door and working my way up. I’m wondering what are some of the best ways to get involved in this field? Are there any specialties you guys think are better than others? Honestly just starting from basically step 0 and wanting any and all advice. Thanks in advance

Writing a paper on the economics of nuclear energy. These two seem to be the major reports out there. The WNA being a bunch of nuclear companies and the WNISR apparently being ran by a guy whose career is built upon badmouthing nuclear.

Currently using the Economics of Nuclear Power article from the WNA and WNISR's 2023 report.

Any advice on what to watch out for/things I should know about either source? The reports themselves or the groups behind them.

Nuklear Powerplants are notoriusly slow to change their output. The russians have nuklear icebreakers, and there are nuklear aircraftcarriers and submarines. How are they able to change the poweroutput of their reaktors fast enough to keep the electrical grid on the ship stable? Are there big batteries installed to take up the difference? Or are the reaktors always on full power and the exess is getting rid of by just heating seawater?

I’m a car mechanic with a two year automotive degree. Will leveraging my mechanical abilities get me a job in a power plant? The field interests me a lot and I have no problem switching industries.

As the title says I’m really wanting to be apart of this upcoming project but every contracting company I contact has no dates available yet. I am determined to get it in this project does anyone has any sources or updates on the current status?

Also I’m MOV/tech/tester if anyone on here is recruiting😁

Same as title. Currently enrolled in mechanical engineering in India. What would you suggest to improve my chances to get accepted?

Former submarine reactor operator, current electrical engineering student and sro-ilt. Trying to move to Europe, going to use my GI bill+retirement check as the foot in the door with a masters program.

Any suggestions on good areas to live for working at HPC? Family with 2 younger kids. Thanks

Has anyone had any interactions with recruiters recently for SRO jobs in Europe or UAE? Several of my colleagues moved from the U.S. to UAE around 2019. I’m wondering if this is still happening or if it has slowed down. I’m looking to make a move.

I need to interview a nuclear reactor engineer for a uni project, anyone can help please?

I work as an automation engineer in a nuclear power plant that is under construction . In my plant i have seen traditional 4-20mA, discrete (0-24V) and some smart sensors (RSL 485) are being used. I have read about some wireless sensors somewhere in the internet. I wonder whether these type of sensors are used in any NPP?

(I live in the usa btw) So right now I’m just a junior in high school thinking of getting into the nuclear field as a reactor operator or something similar at a power plant (there’s one less than an hours drive from me) and I was just wondering what the career path would be like for that. I’ve looked at similar posts to this but most of them are people who are already semi established in the power plant industry and I would have no experience. I also am curious about a few things

1. For where I live we are offered a trade school and in which is an mechanical engineering and machining class that I feel would help me get a mechanical engineering degree in college which would help to get into this field or just be useful in general later down the line. So I was wondering if taking that would be a good option or not.

2. What type of training would I require to get into it? And how much does the training cost relative to the salary?

3. What’s the work environment like and what’s an average day like as a ro?

Thanks for any answers

I am an industrial designer, and for my graduation project I decided to make a drone project for chemical and radiation exploration for nuclear power plants.

People who work there or are associated with the topic of radiation, tell me what pitfalls there may be in this topic and how relevant this project would be

Like in this photo. The pellets have these holes in the middle. Is it for the release of fission gasses? To help with thermal expansion? Does the hole go through the entire cylinder?

Will we stop using fission energy?

Is there any middle ground between these two? A sort of hybrid?

Are they taking some pills or they are just awake on they own energy whole shift/day
