New Employee Briefing

As a new employee, you'll attend a briefing that will familiarize you with the NRC.

Employee Training

The NRC provides employees with instructor-led, computer-based, and self-study training opportunities in a wide spectrum of technical disciplines in support of NRC's regulatory programs and in broad areas of interest to NRC employees. Training is offered using traditional classrooms, computer laboratories, full-scope nuclear power plant control room simulators, and web-based training.

Technical Training

Whether in the classroom or simulator, on-line, or through on-the-job training and self-study in the field, our training programs provide engineers and other technical professionals with the latest information and valuable practical experience in evaluating the design and operation of the various types of nuclear power facilities in order to develop the competencies required to carry out their assigned regulatory activities. Employees learn how to perform inspection, investigation, licensing, and enforcement activities and gain an understanding of nuclear facilities and engineering principles in order to enhance communication and decision-making abilities.

Group Training

Comprehensive group training programs are offered for executive, supervisory, and management development, including training in equal employment opportunity and diversity.

Continuing Education

Courses that provide education in a variety of areas are offered on-site or at local colleges and universities. NRC may pay tuition and fees for job-related courses taken at approved colleges and universities at the undergraduate and graduate level.
