If you have any questions drop them below in the comment section- I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

It’s nice to get out of Minnesota during this time.

This industry seems to cast a wide net and gather people from drastically different backgrounds. I've worked with people who worked as professional chefs, truck drivers, engineers, diesel mechanics, and just about any of the trades I can think of. I'm curious where everyone here is coming from and what they've experienced in their careers before looking to nuclear. So what has your path looked like so far?

I got an 83% so I'm by no means a perfect example but here is how I prepared and my advice. The Westinghouse provided training course was the primary material and therefore the most pertinent information for the test. Pay attention to the quizzes at the end of each module as they are most similar to the actual test questions. This also gives you more specific "learning objectives" which are what you are tested on. For the past 2 days I have used the practice tests (100 and 200) provided here. They help as refreshers but the test itself was much more theory than math. The GPT helped break down concepts and terminology for those struggling with acronym fatigue. It also can provide quick cheat sheets on important relationships between concepts. Which I found helpful to solidify what did what. As a supplement to the tests provided here, I would study more of the following. Common isotopes from fission, corrosion products, and coolant. The sampling methods used to isolate noble gasses and Iodine. The reactivity chart. Safety procedures and contamination control. For those not mechanically inclined, brush up on valve types and components. I wish everyone the best of luck! 80% is all you need!

As a thank-you to everyone who joined The Grid early: All current members are being grandfathered into VIP status. Over the next few days, I’ll be building out Grid VIP benefits, including Grid-Verified Stays — safe housing options near plants that will save you 50% or more of your per diem and eliminate the usual housing headaches. Grid Stays will be stays near plants that offer a huge discount to Grid members only to save 50 to 70% of their per diem without having to go on a hunt as they will all be listed off in the Grid. Search the plant or state you will be working in and they will pop up. You don’t need to do anything. As long as your membership stays active, you keep your grandfathered VIP status — even as pricing increases for new members. Canceling or lapsing will reset VIP eligibility. More details soon as the Atomic Wallet and verification system rolls out. Thanks for being early. More value is coming.
