The Navy’s Nuclear Field (NF) program offers extensive training as nuclear propulsion plant operator and technicians to young men and women with aptitude in mathematics and science. Applicants for this program should be mature, responsible, and dedicated to pursuing the challenge this highly technical field offers.

QUALIFICATIONS: Nuclear Field (NF) candidates must be U. S. citizens, less than 25 years old at the time of enlistment, a high school diploma graduate with successful completion of one year of Algebra, and able to meet security clearance requirements.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Three Navy job specialties, called “ratings”, are included in the Nuclear Field community: Machinist’s Mate (MM), Electrician’s Mate (EM), and Electronics Technicians (ET).

Career Path: After recruit training, Nuclear Field candidates report to the Nuclear Field “A” School for technical training in their specific ratings. Then attend Nuclear Power School (NPS) to learn theory and practical applications of nuclear physics and reactor engineering. Following NPS, candidates begin prototype training in their rating specialty at one of the two Nuclear Power Training Units (NPTUs). After nuclear power training, NF Sailors are designated nuclear propulsion plant operators. You may be assigned to modern nuclear aircraft carriers or volunteer for submarine service (men only).

Pay and Benefits: Enlistment and reenlistment bonuses in addition to Navy salary, special duty assignment pay, and allowances for food and housing are available. Those who volunteer and are selected to serve on nuclear submarine (men only) are eligible for added submarine duty incentive pay from the day they graduate form nuclear training.
