The role of the Nuclear Safeguards Inspector is primarily an in-field verification expert performing safeguards verification activities in conformity with safeguards agreements. The Nuclear Safeguards Inspector carries out verification and analytical work as part of safeguards activities and inspections at nuclear facilities, other locations with nuclear material and where nuclear related research and development is performed, in order to confirm the absence of undeclared nuclear material or activities, undeclared production / processing or diversion of nuclear material.

In my role as a Non-Destructive Assay (NDA) systems engineer, I am a specialist adviser to Operations Divisions and support technicians on the selection and use of safeguards NDA instruments. As an NDA system engineer I am responsible for adapting and deploying in-the-field NDA systems for specific applications, as well as troubleshooting, maintaining, and calibrating NDA equipment. Key functions include:- Provide expert assistance in the field and related documentation for the deployment of new or customized NDA equipment;- Provide specialized expertise to the definition of user requirements related to the development and deployment of innovative instruments and measurement techniques;- Manage, in coordination with R&D project managers, the implementation of NDA equipment development tasks; and- Enhance the functionality of safeguards equipment through usability testing, maintenance, and calibration.
