With 500,000 tonnes of contaminated water onsite and reactor 1 off limits until 2025, decommissioning will take 40 years
At
first glance, the list seems surprising: Among professions that can
earn $100,000 a year without a college degree are massage therapists,
personal trainers, executive pastry chefs and nuclear reactor operators.
Some
of these experience requirements can be met through military service –
in general, an applicant can receive six months credit for every year’s
experience working at a military propulsion plant such as a
nuclear-powered warship. It’s also important to note that reactor
operators work for the commercial nuclear power plant owners, not the
NRC, although it’s the NRC license that makes them eligible to do the
job.
