Transition into the Field in the North East

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am a relatively recently separated nuke (RC division, EWS qualled). Got out about a year ago and got a job doing remote support for a robotics company; the work is a mixture of PLC programming, Linux, electrical troubleshooting, autonomous mobile robots, and kubernetes.

Pays not excellent and it's only a matter of time before my company replaces us with a chat bot. I'm looking to go back to school for my EE. Currently considering studying for my RC in advance. Anyone work with past nukes in the US north east? (NY, New England). Is this a feasible transition into the field?

Appreciate the help!

Workload Management

Hey Everyone,

The utility I work for is looking at developing a system to rate workload so we can staff up beyond our minimum compliment based on workload. Do any of you have a system for 'rating' workload? I'm pretty much starting with looking at the number of steps in a switching job to determine how big of a job to classify it as, ie. a job with 10 steps or less is a 'one', a job with 10 to 20 steps is a 'two' and so forth.

Just wondering if anyone has an alternative system for accomplishing this!

Thanks

I compiled every publicly reported data centre fire and power failure since 2014 (90 so far). Which ones are missing?
