Reactor Training Division took care of training ‘the new guy’. New Reactor Department crewmembers started a rigorous 10-week familiarization qualification that allowed them to operate the most powerful and technologically advanced nuclear power plant in the Navy. After the ‘new guy’ reported to his parent division (RC, RE, RL, RM or M Division) RT Division’s job was not complete. As the Sailor progressed in his watchstation qualifications, he was given frequent level of knowledge examinations. These examinations and training records were maintained by RT Division. If it had to do with training, RT Division was the place. Each staff member in RT Division was carefully selected as an exemplary representative of his parent division. They were some of the best operators in the department and had the ability to effectively train its personnel. Using the best Sailors ensured Reactor Department’s high level of readiness and safe propulsion plant operations. Reactor 481
