Exelon Nuclear Work Values

Daily Duties at Exelon Nuclear:

-Nuclear Materials Custodian (NMC): Responsible for the inventory and control of all site nuclear materials and the monthly and annual reports required by the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission). I controlled the stringent shipping and receiving guidelines for nuclear material being received and being transferred to other nuclear sites. -Nuclear Fuel Inspector (NFI): Responsible for the quality control of the nuclear fuel being burned at the Byron Nuclear Plant. From the inception of design at Westinghouse to the manufacturing oversite and then final receipt inspection at the Byron facility. This ensures that there are no product defects that would lead to radioactive material leaking out of the fuel rods. I directly trained and supervised union employees in the task of inspecting the fuel when it arrived at the plant. Additionally, foreign material control is a top priority at a nuclear plant and especially around the new fuel prior to its insertion in the core, therefore plant cleanliness was considered a must and was part of an indicator program tied to company bonuses. -Fuel Reliability Engineer (FRE): As an FRE I was charged with monitoring the chemistry samples of the reactor core and determining if there exists a fuel rod leaking radiation into the primary water loop. -Lead Test Assembly Project Manager (LTA PM): With the responsibilities listed above while working at Exelon, my qualifications lead me to be the LTA PM. An LTA is a fuel assembly that is different from the others, to be considered a new model, untried, untested. After the fuel assembly has burned in the reactor core for one cycle, it must be tested to ensure it is performing as designed. Under major accomplishments I listed the LTA PM and some accomplishments. These projects ran 24 hours a day, therefore perfect planning was required by the PM to ensure a smooth, uneventful back shift.

What they like about Exelon Nuclear:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
