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.
Post-Service Opportunities It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector.Education OpportunitiesBeyond 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 .
