Hi there,
as someone working in nuclear in Germany I might be interested in working in the US. I'm currently working in a department that deals with radiation protection, nuclear physics, chemistry, emergency response and so on. Every german plant has such a department, and translated directly that department would be called "Surveillance". However, searching with that keyword does not bring up much, so I suppose that department is called differently. Does anyone know how? Or are US plants organized differently?
Cheers,
DrTron

Over here, that's usually several departments:
Health Physics / Radiation Protection
Chemistry
Emergency Planning

Hello,
Thanks for the info. So those departments usually reside directly beneath the plant manager?
-
For us (VC Summer), RP and Chemistry have their own Manager.
EP falls under the General Manager, Nuclear Support Services, along with Nuclear Licensing, Scheduling & Planning and Outage Planning.

Thanks, that'll help me a lot!
