Engineer - Senior Lead Engineer; Nuc Entergy Corporation : Mississippi Category: Nucl

SUMMARY / PURPOSE

Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) is responsible for risk assessment activities as a result of internal/external events. Design integrity of the risk assessments is maintained through effective configuration control of design output documents (i.e., specifications, calculations, drawings, test requirements, and procedures).

• Provides plant support in the area of probabilistic risk assessments (PRA).
• Develops and maintains the EN sites’ PRA models – Level 1 PRA (Performing system modeling, data analysis, human reliability analysis, fault tree modeling, quantification), Thermal Hydraulic analysis, and LERF determinations.
• Adapts/develops quantitative and qualitative risk assessments in the area of internal events PRA, Fire PRA, Seismic risk, Shutdown risk, Internal flooding, and related areas.
• Work on various PRA applications such as Maintenance Rule, MSPI, on-line risk management, risk-informed regulatory issues, licensing renewal, regulatory interfaces, etc. as requested.
• Develop PRA engineering products in accordance with regulatory and procedural guidelines.
• Review plant design modifications for impact on PRA models, documentation and products.
• Perform engineering calculations in the areas of PRA and risk-based initiatives and SDP issues as requested.
• Familiarization and use of relevant PRA computer software as needed.

• B.S. Degree in Engineering or other closely related scientific discipline generally associated with power plant operations, or equivalent work experience (equivalent experience is defined as demonstrated success as an Engineer).
• Desired: B.S. Degree in Nuclear Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.

• Engineer I: 1 year experience in nuclear power design, operations, or equivalent, depending upon engineering level.
• Engineer II: 2+ years experience in nuclear power design, operations, or equivalent, depending upon engineering level.
• Engineer III: 4+ years experience in nuclear power design, operations, or equivalent, depending upon engineering level.
• Engineer Sr or Sr Lead: 6+ years experience in nuclear power design, operations, or equivalent, depending upon engineering level.
• Desired: 5+ years’ experience in PRA Engineering or Safety Analysis.

• Technical proficiency in the assigned area.
• Technical understanding of nuclear generation principles and operation.
• Good communication, conflict management, and change management skills.
• Desired:
  Proficiency in computer codes CAFTA, EOOS, Phoenix, FRANX, PRAQUANT and MAAP.
• Desired: SRO license or certification on a PWR or BWR.
