How do they match: Nuclear Technicians

  • Radiation Protection Technician

  • Assist nuclear physicists, nuclear engineers, or other scientists in laboratory, power generation, or electricity production activities. May operate, maintain, or provide quality control for nuclear testing and research equipment. May monitor radiation.

  • Adjust controls of equipment to control particle beam movement, pulse rates, energy or intensity, or radiation, according to specifications.
  • Calculate equipment operating factors, such as radiation times, dosages, temperatures, gamma intensities, or pressures, using standard formulas and conversion tables.
  • Follow policies and procedures for radiation workers to ensure personnel safety.
  • Measure the intensity and identify the types of radiation in work areas, equipment, or materials, using radiation detectors or other instruments.
  • Monitor nuclear reactor equipment performance to identify operational inefficiencies, hazards, or needs for maintenance or repair.
  • Perform testing, maintenance, repair, or upgrading of accelerator systems.
  • Set up equipment that automatically detects area radiation deviations and test detection equipment to ensure its accuracy.
  • Warn maintenance workers of radiation hazards and direct workers to vacate hazardous areas.

  • Measure radiation levels.
