Nuclear Reactor Technician, A.A.S.

Program Code: TE700

Operators at a nuclear-powered generating facility are required to obtain an operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a branch of the federal government. Licensed operators assume responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of a nuclear reactor and its auxiliaries as well as the turbine-generator and related auxiliaries.

This program is designed to provide the licensed applicant with an adequate background in physics, theory, equipment technology, and procedural and administrative programs necessary to successfully complete the federal licensing examination.
