When I left school, over 30 years ago, if you wanted a job at Sellafield there were minimum qualifications then, but if your dad,mam,cousin or Uncle Tom Cobbly worked there then the all that minimum qualification stuff was thrown out of the window (just like Marchon, Smiths etc). The world has changed, Sellafield rightly or wrongly are under the spotlight (parliamentary enquiries etc) its quite right that they have minimum standards and enforce them, they need the best people they can get and the first test of that is what qualifications you have got.
