Which of the following is NOT a common responsibility of an EOD technician?

Disarming nuclear weapons is not a common responsibility of an EOD technician. The primary role of EOD technicians involves dealing with explosive ordnance such as bombs, mines, and other conventional explosives found in various scenarios. They are trained to assess, render safe, and dispose of unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices.

While EOD technicians do conduct controlled detonations and perform safety inspections of explosive devices, their responsibilities generally do not extend to nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons require specialized teams and extensive protocols due to the complex nature of the technologies and the potential consequences of mishandling such devices. Therefore, disarming nuclear weapons falls outside the typical duties of an EOD technician, highlighting the correct choice within the context of their primary mission and training.
