The increasing use of radiation and radioactive materials in today ' s world has created a demand for nuclear technicians . This demand is expected to remain high for years to come . The Nuclear Technology program offers students a unique opportunity to obtain the specialized training in demand by businesses and organizations licensed to utilize radioactive materials . It is also an excellent springboard for a four-year degree in the high-demand �elds of health physics and radiation safety . Nuclear technicians have a variety of career opportunities at businesses such as nuclear power facilities , radioactive waste handling facilities , radiopharmaceutical companies , universities and national laboratories , medical facilities , U . S . Department of Energy sites , hospitals , or emergency management organizations . Nuclear Technology is a shared program between Lakeshore Technical College ( LTC ) and NWTC . Classes are offered in a traditional classroom setting using interactive television methods to link the two technical colleges . For �exibility , some classes may be taken in an online format through LTC .
This program is offered at : Green Bay
Contact Lakeshore Technical College for all Benchmarks .
Curriculum : The Nuclear Technology Associate Degree is a two-year , six semester collaborative program between Lakeshore Technical College and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College . Students will attend classes on the Green Bay campus and will take part in ITV classes sent from LTC to NWTC . Upon graduation a student will have completed 62 credits .
