Melanson said Bartlett Nuclear had been approached by sub-contractors linked to the General Electric-Hitachi nuclear joint venture. GE designed the Fukushima reactors.

"At first, we had no details about the duration of the job or the positions needed. The only requirement was that you have a valid passport," Melanson said.

But as the job details came in, Bartlett managers scoured the list of volunteers and selected several engineers and technicians "we knew would perform well for us over there."

So just what type of person would go into a damaged nuclear plant that is throwing out dangerous levels of radiation?

NOT ROUGHNECKS

Melanson said these are not roughnecks prepared to risk their health for a quick paycheck but senior technicians and engineers who have come up through the ranks.
(sorry I just had to post this before some neo-con did and said" LOOK here's those jobs," also the sick irony the horrible Reality is some plant workers are gona be desperate enough i laughed then gagged my tongue swelling in my own throat terrible times where this is the Job reform ecological disasters caused by corporate irressponsibility, so need a job? Americans desperate yet what a april fool with the worst kind of punch-line its for real people!)
