- Prepare technical reports of findings or recommendations, based on synthesized analyses of test results.
- Design or direct nuclear research projects to test or modify theoretical models, develop new theoretical models, or discover new uses for current models.
- Consult with other scientists to determine parameters of experimentation or suitability of analytical models.
- Discuss construction project proposals with interested parties, such as vendors, contractors, or nuclear facility review boards.
- Examine accidents to obtain data that can be used to design preventive measures.
- 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.
- Keep abreast of developments and changes in the nuclear field by reading technical journals or by independent study and research.
