"I believe underpaid, because as a person of Reactor Control Division, we operate the reactor, civilian counterparts make twice that. We test the equipment which a person at a civilian plant doing the makes more. We train each other, one supervisor I had makes twice what I make just doing that as a civilian. So I feel I should be of equivalent pay as all my civilian counterparts."
