The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the independent agency that licenses and regulates the civilian use of nuclear materials in the United States: commercial power reactors, research reactors, fuel cycle facilities, medical and industrial uses of radioactive material, and the storage and transport of nuclear waste. It is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, with four regional offices and resident inspectors stationed at every operating power plant.
Recent listings have included attorneys and an assistant general counsel for general business law, a law clerk and the honor law graduate program, a nuclear engineer, a mechanical engineer, a senior reactor analyst, a project manager for fusion and standard general licensing, a regulations specialist, a senior allegations program manager, branch chiefs including one announced as a direct hire public notice, an administrative assistant and a summer student internship.
Applying tip: technical announcements expect engineering or physical science degrees and experience with reactor systems, materials or health physics, and the agency’s legal and policy roles ask for familiarity with its licensing framework. Entry programs such as the honor law graduate program and summer internships are the main routes in for recent graduates; our entry-level guide explains how to approach them.
