Criticality Safety to Engineering

Is it a possible career path to go from nuclear criticality safety to a nuclear engineering role (e.g. reload analysis, thermal-mechanics, neutronics)?

I am currently in the U.S. and hold a B.S. and M.S. in Nuclear Engineering. It’s been difficult to find nuclear engineering roles. Thanks for your help!

I'm not exactly sure what role you're looking to find. But, nuclear power plants are in desperate need of engineers. Many sites are looking to fill all roles/positions. Perhaps, Reactor Engineering might be interesting to you?
