NUCLEAR ENGINEER (Competitive)
New Jersey does not license the reactors sited in it — that authority is federal — but the State keeps its own engineers watching them. It runs environmental radiation monitoring around the generating stations in Salem County, reviews the offsite emergency plans, and has to be able to reach an independent judgement rather than repeat the operator's.
Radiological protection is a State function under its own statute, and this is the engineering end of it.
