[ Back ] [ The Roadtechs Nuclear Job Board ] [ Help ] [Edit ] [Mark Position Closed ]


We are looking for a Seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment Engineer. This is a remote opportunity.

Responsibilities
· Manage SPRA work performed outside in coordination with plant design, deterministic safety analysis, and other disciplines.
· Ensure that the SPRA is appropriate and used for the reactor design and within regulatory requirements, guidance, and standards such as risk-informed performance-based technology guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors (RG 1.233 and NEI 18-04) and ASME/ANS Non-Light Water PRA standard.
· Lead the development of planning and schedule for SPRA related activities.
· Provide technical guidance to engineers and managers on reliability and various SPRA-related topics.
· Participate in SPRA peer reviews.
· Review and support the development of event and fault trees for SPRA models.
· Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish core and reactor SSC functional, reliability, performance, safety, and quality requirements as well as support the overall design.
· Establish and maintain documentation of model development and analysis results.
· Perform engineering reviews of analyses and other engineering design media.
· Develop containment fault trees and event trees to reflect most up to date design using CAFTA.
· Group similar source terms for assignment to event sequence end states.
· Perform risk integration using the PRA model to report risk metrics and importance measures.
· Perform focused PRA analysis to support trade studies.
· Perform hand calculations using first principles to assess and validate more complex models for system performance, containment performance, and radiological consequences.
· Prepare topical reports describing PRA methods and analytical results for customers and regulators.
· Deliver presentations for internal management and external customers and regulators.
Key Qualifications and Skills
• B.S., M.S., or PhD in nuclear, mechanical, electrical, or aerospace engineering (or similar)
• Fifteen years or more of experience in Probabilistic Risk Assessment
• In-depth knowledge on PRA principles and the ASME/ANS Non-Light Water PRA standard.
• In-depth knowledge on risk-informed performance-based regulations and applications.
• In-depth knowledge of PRA fundamentals in data, human reliability, accident analysis, severe accidents, and source terms assessments.
• Experience with PRA software: CAFTA in particular; SAPHIRE, Risk Spectrum, or other similar software still considered valuable.
• Experience with performing assessments using codes such as GOTHIC, MELCOR, RADTRAD, or similar tools is a plus.
• Demonstrated technical writing and communication skills.
• Experience with sodium cooled reactors or other advanced reactors preferred.
• Fluent in spoken and written English language.
• A broad understanding of the various engineering disciplines and how they interrelate in the design of a Nuclear Power Plant.
• High degree of trust, integrity, open communication, respect for others, and teamwork.
