Job Description Summary
The Lead Deterministic Safety Analysis (DSA) Engineer position will make immediate contributions to the team responsible for BWRX-300 deterministic safety analyses, while being technically mentored by a team of high performing engineers. The DSA team is responsible for performing safety analysis in support of various applications for BWRX-300 transient analyses, thermal hydraulic analyses, containment analysis, and stability analysis.
The individual will work within an energetic team environment to perform thermal-hydraulic and plant transient analyses to support a variety of applications encompassing BWRX-300 DSA. The position offers limitless opportunities to learn the fundamental bases of nuclear power plant operations and safety analysis by applying state-of-the-art thermal hydraulics methods to satisfy licensing requirements and solve real day-to-day plant problems. Additionally, this position has direct customer-facing opportunities through training, deliverables, and collaboration.
The DSA team offers unique opportunities to create and/or improve cutting-edge automation and methods.
- Lead a variety of projects including technical evaluations and analyses in the area of Anticipated Operational Occurrences, Anticipated Transients without Scram, Reactor Heat Balance, and Thermal Hydraulic Fuel Channel Analyses.
- Perform plant thermal hydraulic evaluations and analyses in the areas of Containment, HELB, Fire Safe Shutdown, Annulus Pressurization Loads, and RIPD analyses.
- Perform plant thermal hydraulic evaluations and analyses in the areas of BWR stability.
- Deliver products at a consistently high and sustainable level in accordance with customer requirements, business procedures, and regulatory agency guidelines.
- Utilize unique opportunities to create and/or improve cutting-edge automation and methods.
- Prepare thorough and accurate technical reports, correspondence, documentation, and calculations.
- Perform technical verification of engineering deliverables.
- Prepare, communicate, and present complex technical issues to internal and external customers and recommend solutions.
- Perform in cross-disciplinary settings, engaged with interfacing teams responsible for mechanical design, core design, licensing, systems design, or other affiliated organizations to find optimum customer solutions.
- Ensure work is performed with high quality in accordance with regulatory rules and regulations, customer requirements, and business quality assurance standards.
- B.S. Degree in Engineering Discipline (Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or similar).
- At least 5 years of relevant nuclear experience.
- This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
- The preferred work location for this role is at the GEH Headquarters Wilmington, NC but Atlanta, GA will also be considered.
- Master's degree in engineering; or Senior Reactor Operator Certification.
- Experience with BWR core simulation and thermal-hydraulic systems codes.
- Experience with BWR Containment, HELB, Fire Safe Shutdown, Annulus Pressurization Loads, and RIPD analyses.
- Knowledge of BWR Systems and integrated plant response.
- Knowledge of the fundamental principles of nuclear engineering such as nuclear physics, thermal hydraulics, and mechanical design, as applied to BWR.
- Experience in two-phase thermal hydraulic analysis techniques.
- Experience with standard engineering work planning and design process techniques.
- Knowledge of reactor licensing requirements.
- Experience with BWR/PWR T-H systems codes such as TRACG, RELAP & TRACE.
- Experience in Best Estimate methodology development (e.g., TRACG).
- Experience with Containment codes such as GOTHIC.
- Experience with Best Estimate and CSAU applications.
- Programming experience such as C#, FORTRAN, or PYTHON.
- Acts with honesty and integrity, takes ownership of their work, and communicates with confidence and clarity.
- Highly motivated and…
