Prepare for the nuclear PE exam
S. Himmelstein | March 25, 2022Registration is now open for the next U.S. nuclear engineering professional engineer (PE) examination, which will be administered nationwide on October 18, 2022. Now is the time to sign up and begin studying with the help of materials like the online module program offered by the American Nuclear Society (ANS).
ANS volunteers have developed multiple study aids to help prepare engineers who are interested in becoming licensed in nuclear engineering. Primary among these, the Nuclear PE Exam Preparation Module Program is a comprehensive, video-based online course containing over 130 10-minute tutorials (modules)
that map directly to the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) nuclear engineering PE exam specifications list, organized by area:
- Specification Area 1: Radiological Analysis and Consequences
- Specification Area 2: Nuclear Fuel Cycle
- Specification Area 3: Nuclear Systems and Components
- Specification Area 4: Reactor Physics and Criticality Safety
- Specification Area 5: Safety Analysis
Exam takers may also be interested in the ANS Study Guide for the Professional Engineering Examination in Nuclear Engineering. The NCEES also offers a set of example problems with fully worked solutions.
