The requirements for nuclear plant operators are quite a bit more burdensome than the new rules for drone operation. Flying a drone doesn't even require a drug test! Not the same at all.
Can't reply to parent, so I'll add my response here to illustrate what "quite a bit more burdensome" looks like.
I don't know the requirements for operating a nuclear reactor, but here's the requirements to operate a water treatment plant:
* A degree in engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry, physics from an accredited school.
* Pass a licensing exam
* For operating larger plants, a minimum of X years experience working at smaller plants first.
* After getting your license, you're required to have N hours of continuing education requirements before you can renew your license. Something like 10 hours / year.
