Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Conduct and document evaluations of design basis accidents and events beyond the design basis.

• Develop and implement nuclear safety analysis techniques and codes to assess reactivity control, core reactions, and system performance under atypical conditions.

• Analyze radiological impacts of accident scenarios in coordination with health physics.

• Contribute to both probabilistic and deterministic safety assessments for design choices and regulatory submissions.

• Assist in the creation of safety analysis reports, technical specifications, and licensing foundation documentation.

• Prepare licensing submissions and address NRC and DOE inquiries for additional information.

• Interpret 10 CFR Part 50/52 regulations and convert them into safety analysis inputs and design suggestions.

• Ensure traceability between safety analysis assumptions, design inputs, and licensing commitments.

• Collaborate with reactor design, health physics, licensing teams, external consultants, and national laboratory partners.

• Foster a proactive nuclear safety culture throughout engineering, licensing, and field operations.

⛳️ Requirements

• 7–10 years of pertinent nuclear safety analysis or accident analysis experience in a regulated nuclear setting.

• Practical experience in conducting accident analyses, including evaluations of design basis accidents.

• Proficiency with nuclear safety analysis codes and methodologies such as MELCOR, RADTRAD, SCALE, ORIGEN, or similar tools.

• Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering or a related technical discipline.

• Comprehensive understanding of reactor physics and safety analysis principles.

• Familiarity with radiological consequence evaluations.
