What is the Nuclear Professionalism Standard?

Today’s nuclear industry brings together a huge range of talents – people dedicated to taking nuclear technology forward in the service of society. As the pace of development continues to accelerate, high standards have never been more important.

Created by the nuclear industry for the nuclear industry, the Nuclear Professionalism Standard sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours essential for everyone working in nuclear – setting down a baseline standard for the many and diverse professionals who play a part in development, operation, management and advancement of our nuclear future.

Working in nuclear?

The Nuclear Professionalism Standard sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected by today’s employers. Whatever your role in nuclear, you can use the Standard to help you plan your career, work towards nuclear-specific credentials and demonstrate your commitment to nuclear professionalism. It’s a great way to benchmark your skills and enhance your career prospects.

Developing others?

Whether you are an employer or training provider, the Nuclear Professionalism Standard gives you a ready-to-use description of the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected by today’s employers. The standard can form the basis for staff development schemes, recruitment, mentoring, training programmes and benchmarking education provision. It provides a framework for building excellence in your staff team, underpinned by recognised qualifications. 

 

How does it work?

The Nuclear Professionalism Standard is organised into three sections, each focusing on specific areas of competence. Each of the competences is written in a generic, jargon free language, which means that you can interpret the standard in the context of the particular work you do whether its engineering, research, waste management, safety, finance and investment, management and administration or any other role in nuclear.
