Job Details
Missions
Experienced engineers are desired in the following areas:
- Core monitoring systems
- Code development, maintenance, and support
- Core nodal simulators (NEMO, PRISM, ARTEMIS)
- Core monitoring systems (FIDMS, POWERTRAX, ARGOS, BEACON)
- Automation and user interface design
- General physics / neutronics competencies, including benchmarking expertise, in-core detector performance and measurement uncertainty, spent fuel criticality analysis, training, transient analysis, fluence calculations, component heating, etc.
- Neutronic core design and licensing analyses.
- Reload licensing documentation, including support for 10CFR50.59 evaluations
The Company is engaged in the development of new core design and analysis tools (ARTEMIS, APOLLO2-A, COBRA-FLX, GALILEO, LADON, etc.). As these programs enter their final stages of development, expertise is desired to support the implementation of these new tools in new methodologies (for UO2 and MOX) that fully utilize the new code capabilities. This is a global initiative, utilizing resources from Germany, France, and the US.
