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.
Prepare environmental impact statements, reports, or presentations for regulatory or other agencies.
Analyze available data and consult with other scientists to determine parameters of experimentation and suitability of analytical models.
Develop or contribute to the development of plans to remediate or restore environments affected by nuclear radiation, such as waste disposal sites.
Keep abreast of developments and changes in the nuclear field by reading technical journals or by independent study and research.
Design or oversee construction or operation of nuclear reactors or power plants or nuclear fuels reprocessing and reclamation systems.
Conduct environmental studies related to topics such as nuclear power generation, nuclear waste disposal, or nuclear weapon deployment.
Direct operating or maintenance activities of operational nuclear power plants to ensure efficiency and conformity to safety standards.
Synthesize analyses of test results, and use the results to prepare technical reports of findings and recommendations.
Prepare construction project proposals that include cost estimates, and discuss proposals with interested parties such as vendors, contractors, and nuclear facility review boards.
