Also, you probably want to double the salary figure to get an idea of the total compensation cost to the company doing the hiring. A $70k worker can easily have a compensation package that costs $140k to the company doing the hiring, depending on the exact benefits and what sort of discounts the employer can wring from insurance companies, if most employees have families, if there's relocation assistance, etc. Since there aren't a lot of qualified people to work in the nuclear industry I'd expect the packages to be pretty decent.
