In summary, a possible job that could match the description of "keeping track of dangerous/prolific nuclear material on an international level, directly or indirectly" would be a weapons inspector. However, there is no single job that perfectly fits this description. Some potential job titles to consider include nuclear material safeguards specialist, nuclear facility inspector, or nuclear security specialist. Additionally, you may be interested in the "Los Alamos Primer", a set of notes given to new arrivals at Los Alamos that provides insight into the history and development of nuclear weapons. You may also want to explore positions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for opportunities related to nuclear material tracking and inspection.

Incidentally, I see that your "Manhattan Project" thread from last month got no replies. You may be interested in the "Los Alamos Primer", the set of notes given to new arrivals at Los Alamos. The original http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/lanl/docs1/00349710.pdf" ; there's also a published version with annotations by Serber that goes into more detail and some historical background, so you may want to check your library for that.
