• Analysis of design and licensing basis events
• Mechanistic source terms
• Radiological release and consequences

The Senior Safety Analysis Engineer may also contribute subject matter expertise to other projects under development by the Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) Program. Other engineering activities include, but are not limited to, performing accident analyses, contributing to software qualification, participating in hazard analysis, participating to Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) classification, as well as performing verification and validation activities.

Role Responsibilities:

• Perform transient and accident analyses to meet the safety analysis needs of the SFR program.
• Develop analytical and computational models in collaboration with safety analysis engineers.
• Develop methodologies using a graded approach to the Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (EMDAP).
• Collaborate with safety verification and validation engineers to develop assessment bases (benchmark, identify applicable tests, etc.) and asses the evaluation model.
• Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish core and reactor SSC functional, performance, safety, and quality requirements as well as support the overall design.
• Establish and maintain analysis of record and methodology documentation.
• Perform engineering reviews of analyses and other engineering design media.
• Contribute, as needed, to the implementation of capabilities required for transient and accident analysis within the TerraPower software framework.
