TITLE(s): HOT-CELL TECHNICIAN (profess. & kin.) alternate titles: irradiation technician
Operates remote-controlled equipment in hot cell to conduct metallurgical and chemical tests on
radioactive materials: Controls slave manipulators from outside cell to remove metal or chemical
materials from shielded containers inside hot cell and places on bench or equipment work station.
Tests chemical or metallurgical properties of materials according to standardized procedures, and
observes reaction through cell window. Sets up and operates machines to cut, lap, and polish test
pieces, following blueprints, x-ray negatives, and sketches. Tests physical properties, using
equipment, such as tensile tester, hardness tester, metallographic unit, micrometer, and gauges.
Immerses test sample in chemical compound to prepare for testing. Places irradiated nuclear fuel
materials in environmental chamber to test reaction to temperature changes. Records results of tests
for further analysis by engineers, scientists, or customers. Places specimen in shielded container
for removal from cell, using manipulators. Participates in cleaning and decontamination of cell
