Job Type


Full-time

Description

SHINE Technologies is seeking a Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer to provide the development and application of nuclear safety analysis methodologies for safe and effective operations of the subcritical fission processes and accelerator technology for the production of medical isotopes. This work includes transient and accident analysis, dose analysis, nuclear criticality safety analysis, and integrated safety analysis.


Hybrid or remote work arrangement will be considered. While our headquarters is located in Janesville, Wisconsin, we welcome applicants from across the U.S. who can effectively collaborate in a virtual environment. Candidates may be asked to travel occasionally for team meetings or onsite engagements, depending on business needs.


The base salary range for this position is $80,500 - $159,275 per year plus a comprehensive compensation package. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Specific duties and responsibilities of the Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer include, but are not limited to:

• Perform system analyses of anticipated transients and postulated accidents to demonstrate that safety and licensing requirements are satisfied
• Perform radiological and chemical dose calculations for normal and accidental releases
• Support of nuclear criticality safety evaluations and analysis, including development and evaluation of computer models
• Support Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) activities including hazard evaluations (e.g., HAZOP, FMEA), process hazard analyses (PHA), and accident sequence development.
• Systems analysis to include thermal hydraulics, modeling, heat transfer, transient kinetics, two-phase flow, system protection characteristics, and plant control system functions
• Perform hand calculations using first principles to support and validate analysis results
• Perform code benchmarking and validation analyses to support code qualification and methodology development
• Contribute to licensing documents for NRC review and approval that describe how the suite of nuclear analysis codes will be applied along with inputs, models, and correlations to establish the design bases

Requirements

• B.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering or related discipline from an accredited institution at a minimum
• Five (5) years of experience in nuclear safety analysis
• Experience using MCNP and/or SCALE nuclear analysis codes
• Demonstrated technical writing skills.
• Familiarity with nuclear engineering design, operations, regulatory requirements, and industry precedents.
• Basic knowledge of NRC Rules, Regulations, Organization, Processes, Procedures, Instructions, Inspections, Enforcement, and understanding of relevant portions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Strong data management and computer skills
• Must be skilled in the use of Microsoft desktop software

Preferences

• Familiarity with NUREG-1520 or DOE-STD-2009
• Familiarity with ANSI/ANS 8 series on nuclear criticality safety
• Experience performing MCNP validation using the ICSBEP benchmarks
• Experience developing radioactive dose calculations including five-factor formula, source term development, and radioactive material transport, including use of standards and guides such as FGR 11 and 12 and DOE-HDBK-3010
• Previous training through the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP)
• Previous training in performing or facilitating process hazards analysis (PHA), including HAZOP or FMEA

Eligibility for employment is conditioned on the applicant's ability to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. Export Controls. Additionally, applicant's eligibility may be conditioned based upon meeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically requires a pre-employment drug screen, fingerprinting and criminal background check.
