Job Description:
If math and science make your heart race, you might have the
makings of an Electronics Technician Nuclear. As an ETN, you
operate and perform maintenance on the electronic systems that make
the reactor on Navy ships run. You must have a superior work ethic,
and an intense curiosity for all things in the world of physics.
But out here, it pays to be smart. Not only will you get hands-on
experience that nuclear techs in the civilian world can only dream
about, you---ll be eligible to receive up to a $50,000 bonus for
first-time enlistment. Re-enlistment bonuses are also available. As
an ETN, you---ll have the power of a nuclear reactor in your hands.
Responsibilities Operate and perform maintenance on the electronic
systems that make the nuclear reactor on Navy ships run. From
submarines to aircraft carriers, these Sailors calibrate the actual
nuclear control rods to generate power aboard these ships. After
your training at Nuclear Power & Prototype School, you---ll be part
of a watch team that enables the fission process, which generates
steam for propulsion. Few can say they get hands-on experience in a
nuclear power plant just three years out of high school---you---re
one of them. Work Environment As an Electronics Technician Nuclear,
you---ll have the opportunity to work at sea or ashore. Your
assignment could also place you in an intense, fast-paced
environment aboard a nuclear-powered submarine or aircraft carrier.
Training & Advancement Upon completion of initial Recruit Training
(known as Boot Camp), those pursuing an Electronics Technician
Nuclear role report to ---A--- School in Charleston, SC, for six
months. Here, they develop a good working knowledge of technical
mathematics, electricity and electronics, solid-state devices,
digital logic and systems, microprocessors and instrumentation and
control circuits. Students learn how to interpret schematic
diagrams and use appropriate test equipment to isolate and correct
faults in electronic systems. From there, ETNs move on to Naval
Nuclear Power School (NNPS), also in Charleston, SC. Here they
learn theory and practical application of nuclear physics and
reactor engineering. The six-month course provides a comprehensive
understanding of a pressurized-water Naval nuclear power plant,
including reactor core nuclear principles, heat transfer and fluid
systems, plant chemistry and materials, mechanical and electrical
systems, and radiological control. Following NNPS, ETNs begin
prototype training in their rating specialty at one of two Nuclear
Power Training Units (NPTUs) --- located in Charleston, SC, and
Ballston Spa, NY. This six-month course teaches the fundamentals of
a Naval nuclear power plant and the interrelationship of its
mechanical, electrical, and reactor subsystems. Students develop
oral communications skills, obtain an understanding of nuclear
radiation, and gain knowledge of the safe operation of a complex
Naval nuclear power plant. In Nuclear Operations, promotion
opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on
performance. Education Opportunities Beyond offering access to
professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and
operational training for an Operations Specialist can translate to
credit hours toward a bachelor---s or associate degree through the
American Council on Education. You may also continue your education
through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College
Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Qualifications & Requirements A high-school diploma or equivalent
is required to become an Enlisted Sailor and Electronics Technician
Nuclear in the Navy. Those seeking a role as an Electronics
Technician Nuclear must be U.S. citizens with successful completion
of one year of algebra, and who can meet eligibility requirements
for a security clearance.
