Familiarity with radiation detection instruments, fuel handling systems, and regulatory compliance software is essential, along with certifications like HAZWOPER or NRC licensing. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and a strong safety mindset are crucial soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure the safe, efficient, and compliant management of nuclear materials, which is vital for both operational success and public safety.
