** a Licensing Engineer Energy – Remote.  This remote position is based out of our Oak Ridge, TN office.**  ##
** Your role
*** Our fuel cycle business supports clients designing, licensing, constructing, and operating facilities regulated under 10 CFR Part 70, including conversion, deconversion, and fuel fabrication facilities handling special nuclear material.
* This work is growing as the domestic fuel supply chain expands to support advanced reactor deployment.
* Authors assigned application sections and the evaluations that support them, working from the regulatory approach and assumptions set by senior licensing staff.
* Works closely with engineering disciplines and other contractors to gather the inputs each section depends on, and will develop toward independent ownership of application content.
* Prepares assigned sections of 10 CFR Part 70 license applications under the direction of senior licensing staff, which may include radiation protection, waste management, emergency preparedness, decommissioning, environmental protection, and management measures.
* Performs the licensing evaluations and applicability determinations that support assigned sections, using bounding assumptions established or approved by senior licensing staff.
* Gathers and coordinates design, process, and operational inputs furnished by the client and other contractors, and documents the assumptions used where those inputs are not yet mature.
* Reviews application content that interfaces with assigned sections for consistency and completeness, and raises gaps, conflicts, and open items to senior licensing staff for resolution.
