What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

Reactor core design parameters — evaluate and refine using CAD and analytical software with moderate oversight on assigned projects at a commercial nuclear power plant.
Nuclear facility operations — monitor for deviations from safety standards and report anomalies to senior engineers during routine operational periods.
Radiation shielding configurations and associated instrumentation — design using established engineering methods with limited supervision on discrete project scopes.
Plant efficiency metrics and safety conformance data — analyze and compile into technical reports for review by senior engineering staff at a nuclear facility.
Corrective action procedures — initiate and document for non-emergency operational discrepancies in accordance with plant procedures and regulatory requirements.
Operational instructions for nuclear fuel and waste handling — draft, revise, and validate against current safety regulations with peer and supervisor review.
Accident investigation findings — synthesize into structured engineering analyses used to recommend design improvements at an operating nuclear power plant.
Environmental compliance activities associated with plant maintenance — coordinate across internal teams with guidance from a regulatory compliance manager.
System performance evaluations — conduct using systems analysis methods to identify operational inefficiencies at an assigned nuclear facility or reprocessing site.
Nuclear engineering calculations involving mathematics and physics — perform independently and verify against industry standards for assigned plant systems.
