Job Description:
System One is seeking a Safety Analysis Engineer for a remote
work model. long-term contract opportunity, with our client, based
out of Bellevue, WA. The Safety Analysis Engineer is part of a team
supporting the design and licensing of the reactor and is primarily
responsible for performing Licensing Basis Events (LBE) analyses.
The Safety Analysis Engineer may also contribute subject matter
expertise to other projects under development by the Sodium Fast
Reactor (SFR) Program. Responsibilities Depending on qualification
and skills, perform transient analyses to meet the safety analysis
needs of the demonstration reactor for Anticipated Operational
Occurrence (AOO), Design Basis Event (DBE), Design Basis Accident
(DBA), and Beyond Design Basis Event (BDBE). Collaborate with
safety methods development engineers to establish methods,
computational models, and other aspects of the Evaluation Models.
Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish SSC
functional, performance, safety, and quality requirements as well
as support the overall design. Establish and maintain documentation
of model development and analysis. Perform engineering reviews of
analyses and other engineering design media. Contribute, as needed,
to the development of computational models supporting system
modeling for design and operational transients as well as PRA.
Contribute, as needed, to the assessment of the Evaluation Models
against applicable tests and perform appropriate benchmark
calculations. Key Qualifications and Skills B.S. or higher in
nuclear engineering or other relevant engineering degree, with a
minimum of 3 years of experience in the nuclear field.
Knowledgeable of nuclear systems fundamentals such as
thermal-hydraulic, neutronics, dynamics, and reactor transient
behavior in general. Familiarity and experience with analysis of
Anticipated Operational Occurrence (AOO), Design Basis Event (DBE),
Design Basis Accident (DBA), and/or Beyond Design Basis Event
(BDBE) are required. Experience with model development and analysis
using engineering computer programs in the following areas System
transient analysis: RELAP5, SAS4A/SASSYS-1, GOTHIC or TRACE will be
considered Radionuclide transport analysis (source term development
and analysis): MELCOR, RADTRAD, SRT or equivalent. Experience with
performing and submitting LBEs analyses to the NRC is highly
desirable. 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). Experience
with SFR safety analysis is highly desirable. Experience with other
reactor designs can be considered when differentiating candidates.
Demonstrated strong quantitative, analytical, modeling and
reporting skills. Understanding of NQA-1 requirements associated
with analysis and software management as well as experience working
under a quality assurance programs. Experience in working in
multi-disciplinary engineering teams to address engineering
challenges. Programming skills in any language is a plus. The
successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and
integrity, communicate openly and display respect and a desire to
