 Skills and Training
Graduates of Northwestern University NROTC who are selected for the Nuclear Propulsion Program attend the Naval Nuclear Power School in Charleston, South Carolina. This 24-week course teaches newly commissioned officers the fundamental theories involved with Navy nuclear propulsion plants. Study areas include thermodynamics, nuclear reactor principles and dynamics, radiological fundamentals and electrical engineering. Following Nuclear Power School, officers are assigned to a shore-based reactor training facility at the Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU) in upstate New York or Charleston, South Carolina for 26 weeks of practical hands-on training. Students receive instruction in an operational reactor plant in order to learn to properly react to normal and casualty situations. Through the training, officers qualify as propulsion plant operators, obtaining extensive watch standing knowledge and a thorough understanding of all propulsion plant systems.
Prior to reporting to your first submarine as an officer, you will attend a 12-week Submarine Officer Basic Course in order to learn the ins and outs of today's advanced submarines. This course covers the theories and principles of submarine operations, tactics, organization and control, administrative responsibilities, submarine safety and weapons systems.
