Nuclear Inspector

As a Nuclear Inspector, you are specially trained in handling radioactive materials, equipment, and nuclear processes. Because you’re familiar with the laws governing nuclear processes, you investigate incidents and enforce the laws. But the fun doesn’t stop there when you’re a Nuclear Inspector.

You could travel the world, seeking fragments of radioactive particles. You’ve seen them on the news—the groups of Nuclear Inspectors sent to suspicious warehouses around the world in search of nuclear materials. As the Nuclear Inspector, you wait for the governments to hash out a deal, then you fly in, formulate a plan with a team of Inspectors, Engineers, and weapons specialists, and go into facilities.

Once inside, you use special equipment to identify evidence that indicate nuclear weapons production. This helps leaders decide whether the country is abiding by treaties, and how much of a concern they are as an enemy. That’s serious stuff!

If world travel isn’t your goal, you could work closer to home at a power plant, overseeing the minute details of the construction, repair, update, alteration, or replacement of existing nuclear equipment. After all, you are a specialist who abides by the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), so you know the manual inside and out. Safety is your chief concern. Radiation can be a dangerous thing, but you have the knowledge to identify techniques that could put workers or the public in danger.
