Nuclear Law, Licensing, and Regulatory Affairs

Nuclear companies will often have "licensing engineers" working in "regulatory affairs" departments, and other industries will have this equivalent of "the engineers trusted to interact with the feds face to face unescorted". Even if you’re not a licensing engineer, my advice to any nuclear professional is that getting more fluent at "legal-ese" is often how to go from a good engineer to a great one and especially in the nuclear industry which is so highly regulated. If you're not tying your work back to the federal regulations you're being held to you're going to make bad products and maybe even go to jail, so it's very important to study the NRC, US law, and the quasi-law procedures by which the NRC operates. Especially given the unwritten rules and practical soft skills of negotiating and interacting with the right regulators in the hierarchy can be as important as the written rules themselves. But don't stress, we'll make it easy for you to boost your nuclear talent. Choose to watch just the lesson you need or you can complete a more advanced curriculum and attain our free "Regulatory Affairs" certificate that can open doors for you by showing your proactivity to nuclear employers.
