How do they match: Nuclear Technicians

  • Radiochemical Technician
  • Radioisotope Production Operator
  • Test and Research Reactor Operator

  • Collect air, water, gas or solid samples for testing to determine radioactivity levels or to ensure appropriate radioactive containment.
  • Communicate with accelerator maintenance personnel to ensure readiness of support systems, such as vacuum, water cooling, or radio frequency power sources.
  • Determine or recommend radioactive decontamination procedures, according to the size and nature of equipment and the degree of contamination.
  • Monitor instruments, gauges, or recording devices under direction of nuclear experimenters.
  • Set control panel switches to route electric power from sources and direct particle beams through injector units.
  • Warn maintenance workers of radiation hazards and direct workers to vacate hazardous areas.
