Most people think of security guards as mall cops or warehouse watchers, but there’s a job in the industry that operates at a completely different level—nuclear security. These officers don’t just protect property; they safeguard nuclear power plants, weapons facilities, and radioactive materials that, if compromised, could change the world forever.

Unlike typical security jobs, nuclear security comes with strict hiring standards, advanced firearms qualifications, and some of the highest pay rates in the field. Depending on location and contract, these officers can make $50 an hour or more, but the trade-offs include long shifts, mandatory overtime, and intense government oversight.

This video dives into what nuclear security officers actually do, how much they get paid, what the hiring process looks like, and what it takes to succeed in this high-stakes career. I’ll also break down the differences between NRC-regulated power plants, DOE facilities, and decommissioned nuclear sites—because not all nuclear security jobs are the same.

With the U.S. planning to expand its nuclear energy infrastructure, these jobs may be on the rise. But is the pay worth the pressure? If you’re considering a career in nuclear security, this is everything you need to know.
