How do they match: Nuclear Engineers

  • Conduct research on nuclear engineering projects or apply principles and theory of nuclear science to problems concerned with release, control, and use of nuclear energy and nuclear waste disposal.

  • Design or direct nuclear research projects to develop, test, modify, or discover new uses for theoretical models.
  • Examine accidents to obtain data for use in design of preventive measures.
  • Perform experiments that will provide information about acceptable methods of nuclear material usage, nuclear fuel reclamation, or waste disposal.
  • Prepare environmental impact statements, reports, or presentations for regulatory or other agencies.
  • Recommend preventive measures to be taken in the handling of nuclear technology, based on data obtained from operations monitoring or from evaluation of test results.
  • Write operational instructions to be used in nuclear plant operation or nuclear fuel or waste handling and disposal.

  • Communicate technical information to suppliers, contractors, or regulatory agencies.
  • Develop operational methods or processes that use green materials or emphasize sustainability.
  • Research energy production, use, or conservation.
