#2these are actually Department of Energy study materials, not the actual Naval Reactors training materials used in Naval Nuclear Power School.

No. After A school, you will still have to qualify on the boat.

#7This raises an interesting question - what kinds of textbooks are out there already, produced by the government/military, and available for use?
Could they be expanded/adapted, published for free, and put downward pressure on the (ludicrous) price of textbooks in the US?

The nuke track is: After A school (Electrician, Electronic, or Mechanical) you go to Naval Nuclear Power School. From there you go to land-based prototype training on an actual reactor. From there you go to a boat to try to qualify.
