Safety Engineer

Responsibilities

• Computational analysis of component-level and plant-wide thermal hydraulic transients to support safety analysis

• Develop and apply thermal-hydraulic analysis methods from steady state one dimensional network hydraulic analysis to transient, three-dimensional, component-level calculations

• Work with external vendors to integrate transient analysis approaches into a reactor simulator

• Key Quals and Skills

• M.S. Degree in Mechanical, Nuclear, or Chemical engineering (or equivalent) with application to Nuclear Systems

• 3-7 years' experience in Nuclear Systems Thermal-Hydraulic analysis and transients to support safety calculations

• 3-7 years' experience with a nuclear systems code (e.g. RELAP, SASSYS, GOTHIC, SAM, PRONGHORN, MELCORE)

• Knowledgeable of nuclear systems fundamentals such as thermal hydraulics, neutronics, dynamics, and general reactor transient behavior

• Demonstrated ability to participate on a multi-disciplinary team of engineers

• Actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications.

• Bonus

• Experience with other reactor designs, especially fast spectrum systems, can be considered when differentiating candidates

• Molten Salt Reactor analysis is a big plus

• Familiarity with nuclear design, regulatory requirements, and risk-informed performance-based technology guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors is a plus (Licensing Modernization Project process described in NEI-18-04).
