Tasks for “Nuclear Plant Technical Advisor”
- Design or develop nuclear equipment, such as reactor cores, radiation shielding, or associated instrumentation or control mechanisms.
- Design or oversee construction or operation of nuclear reactors or power plants or nuclear fuels reprocessing and reclamation systems.
- 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.
- Conduct environmental studies related to topics such as nuclear power generation, nuclear waste disposal, or nuclear weapon deployment.
- Analyze available data and consult with other scientists to determine parameters of experimentation and suitability of analytical models.
- Direct operating or maintenance activities of operational nuclear power plants to ensure efficiency and conformity to safety standards.
- Examine accidents to obtain data that can be used to design preventive measures.
- Initiate corrective actions or order plant shutdowns in emergency situations.
- Design fuel cycle models or processes to reduce the quantity of radioactive waste generated from nuclear activities.
- Develop or contribute to the development of plans to remediate or restore environments affected by nuclear radiation, such as waste disposal sites.
- Conduct tests of nuclear fuel behavior and cycles or performance of nuclear machinery and equipment to optimize performance of existing plants.
- Prepare construction project proposals that include cost estimates, and discuss proposals with interested parties such as vendors, contractors, and nuclear facility review boards.
- Write operational instructions to be used in nuclear plant operation or nuclear fuel or waste handling and disposal.
- Prepare environmental impact statements, reports, or presentations for regulatory or other agencies.
- Perform experiments that will provide information about acceptable methods of nuclear material usage, nuclear fuel reclamation, or waste disposal.
- Synthesize analyses of test results, and use the results to prepare technical reports of findings and recommendations.
- Monitor nuclear facility operations to identify any design, construction, or operation practices that violate safety regulations and laws or that could jeopardize the safety of operations.
- Direct environmental compliance activities associated with nuclear plant operations or maintenance.
- Design and direct nuclear research projects to discover facts, to test or modify theoretical models, or to develop new theoretical models or new uses for current models.
- Keep abreast of developments and changes in the nuclear field by reading technical journals or by independent study and research.
