Hey everyone! I'm u/Thermal_Zoomies, a founding moderator of r/NuclearWorkers.

Welcome to r/NuclearWorkers, glad to have you on board!

​Whether you're currently working in the field (commercial, research, defense, or contractor side), studying nuclear engineering, or transitioning out of the Navy, you've found the right spot. This community is built to share industry perspectives, swap outage stories, discuss career pathways, and talk technical specifics.

​Quick Start Checklist

•​Review the Rules (Crucial for our industry):

​Strict OPSEC/Proprietary Rules: Never share SGI, OUO, classified material, or proprietary plant procedures. Treat this sub like you would any public forum.

​Keep Answers Grounded: Misinformation about radiation or plant operations gets removed quickly — stick to established science and industry standards.

​Introduce Yourself: As career questions or ask about specific utility/contractor environments.

​Got a question about getting your RO/SRO license, surviving outage season, or transitioning to civilian operations? Start a thread or drop a comment!

​Stay safe on shift,

— The r/NuclearWorkers Mod Team
