  "444 of the 831 open roles (53%) are at four employers: General Matter (134), Valar Atomics (115), TerraPower (100) and Radiant (95). 21 of 21 employers we track had open roles on 10 Nov 2026.",
  "232 roles (28%) were posted in the 30 days to 10 Nov 2026; Valar Atomics posted the most (44), then Kairos Power (36) and Radiant (36).",
  "The largest role family is mechanical, electrical & controls: 207 roles (25%). Nuclear and reactor engineering titles are 64 (8%), and licensing and regulatory roles 59 (7%).",
  "463 roles (56%) are in California, at 9 employers; 391 (47%) name Los Angeles, El Segundo or Torrance. Next are Washington state (80), then District of Columbia, New Mexico and Tennessee (41 each). 63 roles (8%) are listed as remote.",
  "281 roles (34%) post a pay range. For the 260 annual US-dollar ranges, the median midpoint is $168,000; by role family it runs from $132,000 (fuel & materials, n=5) to $188,000 (software & data, n=11). 91% of the ranges come from three employers.",
  "The median open role was posted 62 days before 10 Nov 2026. 118 roles (14%) were posted more than 180 days earlier. Software & Data has the longest median (77 days).",
  "273 titles (33%) contain senior, staff, principal or lead, and 121 (15%) contain manager; 54 (6%) are internships, co-ops, new-grad or entry-level roles."

 "method": [
  "Every day at about 06:20 UTC we read the public job boards (Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever) of the advanced nuclear employers we track and record the roles each one lists. This edition uses the read of 10 Nov 2026, on which every tracked board answered.",
  "An open role is one posting on the employer's own board that day. General-application and talent-pool postings are left out. One posting can name several places.",
  "Posted is the date the employer's board gives for the posting. Days since posted describes roles that are still open. It is not time-to-fill: roles filled quickly have already left the data.",
  "Role families come from keywords in the job title (the department when the title has none). Role keywords use the word lists of the site's role pages; seniority uses the word list in seo/report.py. A title can match several role keywords; a role has one family and one level.",
  "States and cities come from the location text, parsed the same way as the site's location pages. A role naming two states counts in each, so state rows can sum to more than the total.",
  "Pay is the structured range the employer publishes on its board (Greenhouse pay ranges, Ashby compensation). Ranges wider than 3 to 1 or outside plausible bounds are dropped. Medians are of the low end, the high end and the midpoint of each range, shown only where at least 5 roles in a family post an annual US-dollar range.",
  "No figure here names how long a particular employer's or role's posting has been up."
 ],
 "caveats": [
  "Coverage: venture-backed and private advanced reactor, microreactor, fuel and services companies whose boards are public and readable. Large vendors and utilities whose boards we cannot read (for example X-energy, NuScale, Holtec, Westinghouse, GE Vernova) are not included. These are not totals for the nuclear industry; adding those employers could change every share here, California's included.",
  "A posting is not a hire. Some employers keep one posting up to fill several hires or as a standing role, and some list roles they will fill later.",
  "Posted pay covers a minority of roles and comes mostly from a few employers, so pay medians describe those employers more than the sector. Pay is what the employer posts, not what is paid.",
  "Role families and levels are keyword rules on titles; a few roles land in Other or in the wrong family.",
  "Daily added and closed counts start on 12 Nov 2026. Until a month has them, this report is a snapshot of one day, not a trend."
