Nuclear Science is a prominent and expanding field, especially in the state and region. The proximity of the Savannah River Site, the development of the MOX facility, the expansion of the Plant Vogtle facility, and the importance of radionuclides in medicine and pharmacy each represent some of the rewarding and varied career opportunities for graduates with nuclear science experience. Nuclear science 4-year degree programs are not common, and graduates will have knowledge and skills to set them apart from others. Students should be aware that nuclear facility workers must adhere to strict regulations including zero-tolerance for any sort of substance abuse, monitored by regular drug testing.
