A professional who evaluates, coordinates, and oversees testing of nuclear reactor equipment. Responsibilities include:

• Analyzes test proposal to ensure that test is valid and feasible.
• Identifies and resolves problems, such as incompatibilities between proposal and nuclear test-reactor system.
• Coordinates technical and financial agreements involving feasibility, scope, purpose, and cost of project in nuclear test facility.
• Assists engineering personnel in interpretation of test language, mathematical formulas, and computer codes used in test.
• Writes operational instructions.
• Inspects general condition of nuclear test-reactor vessel and related systems.
• Verifies setup of nuclear test-reactor for compliance with specifications.
• Observes control room instrumentation to ensure that performance factors such as neutron power level, chemical composition of coolant, and reactor temperatures and pressures are carried out as prescribed.
• Evaluates and resolves operational problems.
• Coordinates activities directed toward removal of test specimens from reactors and subsequent chemical, metallurgical, or mechanical analysis.
• Compiles report of test results.
