Some MMs are qualified to work on nuclear propulsion plants. They are
designated as Machinist's Mate nuclear (MMN), though the N is generally only
used for the purposes of billeting and advancement exams. These mechanics
go through a rigorous training program consisting of three months at the
Nuclear Field "A" School or in previous years Machinist's Mate "A" School, six
months of Naval Nuclear Power Training Command also known as Nuclear
Power School, and six months at one of several Nuclear Power Training
Units (prototypes). Two NPTUs are moored training ships (MTS) using S5W
reactors located at the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston, South Carolina,
and two additional NPTUs are land-based prototype units using a modified
S5W reactor (MARF DMC) and an S8G reactor located in Ballston Spa, New
York. NPTU Idaho (now decommissioned) at the Naval Reactors Facility
operated the first prototype from 1953 to 1989 which was for the USS Nautilus
(SSN-571), named S1W, the prototype for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65),
named A1W, and S5G, which are all shutdown and defueled. This course of
instruction is commonly referred to as "the nuclear-power pipeline."
MMNs earn a 3385 NEC (surface) or 3355 (submarines) upon completion
of prototype. Along with the normal duties of a propulsion mechanic, they
are responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the auxiliary
equipment in support of the Naval reactor(s) under their care. Later in his/
her career, the MMN may qualify his/her senior in-rate watchstation (Chief
Reactor Watch for surface MMNs in Reactor Mechanical (RM) Division or
Chief Machinery Operator for those in Machinery Division, and Engine Room
Supervisor for submariners) and earn a 3395 (surface) or 3365 (submarines)
NEC.
Additionally, some MMNs are designated as Engineering Laboratory
Technicians (NEC 3386 for surface, 3356 for submariners) in Reactor
Laboratories (RL) Division following successful completion of an additional 13
weeks of training.

MM1
2000 - 2011 (11 years)
Machinist's Mates are responsible for the continuous operation of the many
engines, compressors, gears, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment
along with other types of machinery onboard ships and shore installations.
They are responsible for the ship's steam propulsion and auxiliary equipment
and the outside (deck) machinery. Machinist's Mates are deployed on-board
nuclear powered ships to maintain the machinery and piping in nuclear
reactors.
