I think that's probably the point. I do seem to remember various characters' "WTF?!" reactions to learning Homer's job as safety officer at a nuclear plant.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks, Stimbo!

I'm pretty sure there's an entire episode explaining this whole situation. It pokes fun at the fact that homer is given such a huge responsibility, if I recall correctly he puts the entire plant into nuclear meltdown.

Wasn't there one - maybe the same one - in which he does the same thing in a training simulator, which doesn't even have any nuclear material in it?

Homer probably got his through nepotism.


Just something to make all of you who live near a nuclear power plant sleep a little better.

Yeah, I think there was a guy that's more like a normal person, and goes on a tangent about how he worked hard for nothing, while Homer did nothing of significance yet has a good life.
