Job Description:
It takes hard work and smarts to get you into the reactor room.
But if you have a strong interest in math, chemistry, physics and
engineering, you might just have what it takes to be a
Machinist---s Mate Nuclear. As an MMN, you are the Navy---s nuclear
reactor mechanic. It is your responsibility to perform all
maintenance on the steam-powered propulsion plants aboard aircraft
carriers and submarines to ensure our fleet can move safely. And
your hard work can lead to great rewards. As an MMN, you---ll be
eligible to receive up to a $50,000 bonus for first-time
enlistment. Re-enlistment bonuses are also available. Think you
have what it takes to make a nuclear-powered ship run?
Responsibilities Nuclear Machinist---s Mates operate and maintain
steam turbines and reduction gears used for nuclear ship propulsion
and auxiliary machinery such as turbogenerators, pumps and oil
purifiers. They also maintain auxiliary machinery outside of main
machinery spaces, such as electrohydraulic steering engines and
elevators, refrigeration plants, air conditioning systems and
desalinization plants. They may also operate and maintain
compressed gas producing plants. Nuclear-trained MMs perform duties
in nuclear propulsion plants operating reactor control, propulsion
and power generation systems. Work Environment As a Machinist---s
Mate 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
training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, (known as Boot
Camp), those pursuing a Machinist's Mate Nuclear role report to
---A--- School in Charleston, SC, for six months. Here, they
develop a working knowledge of technical mathematics and power
distribution. Students learn to solve basic equations using
phasors, vector notations and basic trigonometry and analyze DC and
AC circuits. They also learn how to operate electrical equipment
using controllers, and how to properly test, maintain,
troubleshoot, and repair electrical circuits, motors and other
related electrical equipment. From there, MMNs 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, MMNs 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 a Machinist's Mate Nuclear 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 Machinist---s Mate
Nuclear in the Navy. Those seeking a role as a Machinist---s Mate
Nuclear must be U.S. citizens with successful completion of one
year of Algebra, and who can meet eligibility requirements for a
security clearance.
