Careers > Our Benefits


The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) provides full-time employees a variety of benefits, competitive within the nuclear power industry and many of which are fully paid. In addition to offering competitive salaries and annual cash bonus opportunities for all employees, INPO also provides:

Flexible Work Hours

INPO offers flexible work hours, alternate work schedules, and paid time off to help balance your work and family lives:

  • Flexible start and finish times
  • Four-day work weeks
  • Alternate schedules that allow three-day weekends every two weeks
  • Paid time off for family illness
  • Short and long-term disability
  • Vacation and holidays

We work hard, but according to a predictable schedule. INPO employees are rarely subject to off-hours calls and requirements to come into work unexpectedly.

Group Health Coverage

INPO provides full-time employees and eligible dependents with medical, dental and vision coverage.

Features of the INPO medical plan include:

  • Preferred provider and health maintenance organization options with various coverage levels
  • Coverage of preventive medical procedures and physical examinations
  • A mostly company-paid premium – approximately 80% -- with employees paying the rest through payroll deductions

INPO employees who retire after age 55 but before age 65 can remain eligible for these same medical benefits. To be eligible, retirees must have had at least 10 years of service, and age plus years of service must be 70 or more.

In addition, a Wellness Center at INPO headquarters offers free informational meetings dealing with fitness, nutrition, smoking cessation, weight loss, and other topics.

Retirement Savings Plans

Our Thrift Plan – a 401k plan – provides INPO employees with the opportunity to save for retirement through:

  • Employee contributions and INPO company match
  • Additional INPO company contributions

INPO annually makes an additional contribution to every employee’s Thrift Plan account. Our additional contributions range from 4 to 7% of an employee’s salary based upon length of service.

INPO employees manage their own Thrift Plan accounts. The plan offers various mutual fund options for allocation and management of retirement savings. The fund options are continually monitored, and changes are made when funds underperform benchmarks.

INPO provides tuition reimbursement to encourage and support the efforts of our employees to further their education. Features of this benefit include:

  • Reimbursement of tuition, required fees, text books, and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) test fees up to the current tax-free limit set by the IRS, maximum annual reimbursement of $5,250
