Nuclear engineers called to take NCEES survey
The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing professional licensure for engineers and surveyors, is seeking nuclear engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study (PAKS) that will be used to inform and update the content of the Nuclear Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.

Large quantities of plutonium-contaminated waste are generated at the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration’s nuclear weapons facility, the Rocky Flats Plant. Liquid and solid wastes are generated and treated to produce immobile, stable, solidified wastes. Effective waste management techniques have been incorporated to significantly reduce the volume of waste. Packaging systems have been designed to meet the 20-yr retrievability requirement.
