Question by : Job outlook for nuclear power plant jobs?
Hi, I am a senior electrical engineer. I live in nebraska and recently the two major power companies in the state took a hit with the EPA regulations on emissions. So, both of these power companies dont seem to be hiring any new employees currently.
If I want to work in a nuclear power plant within 1-2 years, should I be able find a job at one within the midwest?

Question by Karli B: What could I do with a graduate degree in Nuclear Physics?
I have a BS in Nuclear Medicine Technology and the jobs just aren’t there. At a meeting today it was suggested that I look into becoming a nuclear physicist because eventually the government is going to start regulating individual radiation exposure. I’m just wondering if that is something a nuc physicist would do, and what kind of undergrad do you need?

Hmm,… I’m not sure that there is as much of a connection between nuclear medicine and nuclear physics as you might think. A nuclear physicist is a scientist who studies the structure of atomic nucleii. If a nuclear physicist were forced to get a _real_ job, then he or she probably would end up designing nuclear reactors or designing nuclear weapons or designing storage facilities for high-level nuclear waste. (That last one actually is a lot trickier than you might expect.)
There is a job description that is sometimes called “medical physicist”—a person who works in a radiation oncology center, whose principal job is to figure out the best (i.e., least harmful/most effective) way to deliver radiation to diseased tissue in a patient’s body. The thing that distinguishes the medical physicist from everybody else in the radiation oncology suite, is that the medical physicist has detailed knowledge of how different kinds of radiation interact with different kinds of matter—knowledge that originally was discovered by nuclear physicicists.
I’m not sure what you mean when you say, “the government is going to start regulating individual radiation exposure.” The government already _does_ regulate the exposure of anybody who _works_ in a radiation environment. Are you talking about new regulations on the radiation doses used in nuclear medicine studies? If that were the case, then the same “medical physicist” who works in the radiation oncology department probably would be qualified to oversee nuclear medicine procedures in order to insure compliance.
