What is the Navy Nuclear Test?
Table of Contents
The Navy Advanced Programs Test (NAPT) is a two-hour, United States Navy, supplementary test for potential Nuclear Field (NF) Program applicants who do not qualify based solely on ASVAB line scores.
Nuclear power is one of the most academically rigorous career fields in the U.S. Navy. A Navy nuclear power technician, also known as a “Navy nuke,” is an enlisted sailor who has received extensive training at the service’s Naval Nuclear Power School and its Nuclear Power Training Unit.

What’s the blast radius of a nuke?
In a typical air burst, where the blast range is maximized to produce the greatest range of severe damage, i.e. the greatest range that ~10 psi (69 kPa) of pressure is extended over, is a GR/ground range of 0.4 km for 1 kiloton (kt) of TNT yield; 1.9 km for 100 kt; and 8.6 km for 10 megatons (Mt) of TNT.
Is 65 a good Asvab score?
The Air Force requires an AFQT score of at least 36 and a High School diploma to be eligible to enlist for Air Force active duty. While they do not accept many non-high school graduates, a person with an AFQT score of 65 or higher and a GED may be considered for eligibility.
