We are looking for a talented, energetic, and creative nuclear safety engineer with a proven track record in delivering safety guidelines for the design, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. As a member of the interdisciplinary Stellarator Engineering Team (STEN) you will join an expanding group focusing on the design and evaluation of safety critical systems/operations, building knowledge regarding nuclear safety regulations and documentation for stellarator experimental devices (Chartreuse X) and power plant (Chartreuse P).

You will work closely with a neutronics modeler and reactor systems engineers to define safety requirements and ensure that key components meet the target performance, reliability, safety, and maintainability.

Responsibilities

Individual responsibilities:

• Perform studies to demonstrate the safety of fusion experimental installations.

• Conduct safety case studies such as:  HAZID assessments, Qualitative and Quantitative Hazard assessments, Radiological Hazard assessments, Hazardous Materials Handling, Probabilistic Safety and Risk assessments, Fault Occurrence and Mitigation assessments etc…

• Create and maintain safety documents: Safety operations, Design Authority technical reports, Genertic Site Safety Reports, Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) documents, Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) documents, National and International Regulatory frameworks etc…

• Apply fundamental safety principles (ALARA, Defence-in depth, passive safety, …) to support the design, operation, maintenance, and regulations for nuclear systems and components.

Responsibilities as a team member

• Support engineering, operations, maintenance and transportation projects with safety advice, guidelines and analyses.

• Interact with the stellarator engineering team on the design, sizing, and evaluation of components of the power plant systems.

• Interact with the liquid metal team and high temperature superconductor design team on the choice of materials and safety guidelines.

Qualifications -essential:

• Degree in Nuclear/Mechanical Engineering or closely related field:

  • Master’s Degree with a minimum of 2 years of work experience.

  • Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 5 years of work experience.

  Work experience should be in the field of nuclear safety engineering, preferably with diverse applications to fusion experiments, radiation protection, remote handling and/or management of radwaste.

• Strong background in safety case production and hazard analysis

• Knowledge of French nuclear regulations, and regulatory bodies

• Ability to apply safety standards, principles for the design, classification, and qualification of mechanical components for nuclear applications.

• Written and oral communication skills. Ability to explain complicated concepts clearly and concisely, and critique ideas.

• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, curiosity and willingness to learn.

• Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
  

Qualifications -desirable:

• Knowledge of various nuclear codes and standards such as the IAEA -TECDOC – 1851 ‘Integrated Approach to Safety Classification of Mechanical Components for Fusion Applications’

• Knowledge of US and French nuclear licensing process.

• Experience in the implementation and optimization of remote maintenance systems through testing, commissioning and/or direct usage.

• Experience in the installation, integration and/or commissioning of complex engineering plant systems. 

• Knowledge and/or experience with: magnetic confinement fusion, and nuclear fusion technologies.
