Nuclear Technician
Nuclear technicians work in power plants, offices, and laboratories around radioactive materials. They measure radioactive levels produced by power generation and nuclear experiments to ensure they are safe levels. They sound the alarm when levels become dangerous.
Think you have what it takes to become a nuclear technician? Nuclear Technicians rely heavily on math and science knowledge, so advanced classes are necessary. You must be safety conscious and have attention to detail to ensure that the plant is operating safely.
To be a nuclear technician, you must have a minimum associate degree and community colleges and technical schools offer such programs. When first starting a career, technicians work under the supervision of someone more experienced.
