Access Intelligence is hiring: Reporter in Las Vegas
Access Intelligence, Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89105
The Exchange Monitor Publications and Forums seeks a full-time Reporter to cover nuclear waste and nuclear power-plant decommissioning for daily and weekly newsletters read by experts in industry and government.
As our RadWaste Monitor reporter, your main responsibility will be covering what the federal Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and nuclear power plant owners are doing about the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle — nuclear material that’s already been used to generate electricity, and nuclear power plants that need to be safely torn down. Exchange Monitor does not cover nuclear energy or uranium markets, but a reporter who can keep the back end in frame will find opportunities to write about technology and energy.
We’ll want several stories from you every day. We publish morning newsletters Monday through Thursday, and a larger weekly wrap-up every Friday afternoon. We’re a small newsroom that does big stories, so we occasionally work on each others’ beats. Some travel will be required, and we’ll want you available as a reference for our events team, which programs the Monitor’s annual Nuclear Deterrence Summit and the annual RadWaste Summit near Las Vegas.
The right candidate will have at least three years of experience writing breaking news stories on a real-time deadline. Experience in industry trade press, familiarity with Congress and federal rulemaking, and prior experience covering nuclear issues will help you get off to a running start here. A Twitter account, or the willingness to create one, will also be helpful.
About the Exchange Monitor
For decades, the Monitor has focused on the $30-billion-a-year Department of Energy, and the big industry players who manage the agency’s nuclear waste and nuclear weapons programs. Many of our readers work on one of the world’s biggest environmental cleanups: the DOE-led remediation of Manhattan Project and Cold War-era nuclear-weapon production sites. We also cover active nuclear-weapons programs run by DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration, and nuclear waste generated by civilian power plants.
Industry executives and senior federal policy makers read the Monitor, and attend our three annual conferences: the Nuclear Security & Deterrence Summit in Washington and the RadWaste Summit.
