Analyzers will often perform the following tasks:

• Identifying the underlying principles, reasons, or facts of information by breaking down information or data into separate parts.
• Using relevant information and individual judgment to determine whether events or processes comply with laws, regulations, or standards.
• Assessing the value, importance, or quality of things or people.
• Compiling, coding, categorizing, calculating, tabulating, auditing, or verifying information or data.

Inspectors should be great at:

• Estimating sizes, distances, and quantities; or determining time, costs, resources, or materials needed to perform a work activity.
• Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources.
• Identifying information by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities, and detecting changes in circumstances or events.
• Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.

• Conducting environmental studies related to topics such as nuclear power generation, nuclear waste disposal, or nuclear weapon deployment.
• Designing fuel cycle models or processes for reducing the quantity of radioactive waste generated from nuclear activities.
• Developing or contribute to the development of plans to remediate or restoring environments affected by nuclear radiation, such as waste disposal sites.
• Directing environmental compliance activities associated with nuclear plants operations or maintenance.
• Preparing environmental impacts statements, reports, or presentations for regulatory or other agencies.
• Preparing technical reports of findings or recommendations, based on synthesized analyses of testing results.
• Designing or directing nuclear researching projects for testing or modifying theoretical models, developing new theoretical models, or discover new uses for current models.
• Consulting with other scientists for determining parameters of experimentation or suitability of analytical models.
