Job Description
The candidate scope of work includes the following main areas of responsibility:
• Perform both steady-state and accident radiological source term evaluations of different event scenarios for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGRs)
• Participate in the development and validation of computational models and tools used in source term analysis
• Study and model the effects of particulate matter on fission product transport behaviour
• Develop models to evaluate fission product lift-off, plate-out and circulating coolant activities within the primary circuit
• Assist in the analysis of fission product release from kernels and transport through fuel coatings in defective particles for accident scenarios
• Support post-processing and data interpretation to inform safety case development and risk quantification
• Collaborate on the development of an in-house integrated multi-scale source term analysis framework for HTGRs
• Document results and provide technical inputs to related projects and cross-functional teams
• Prepare technical reports and presentations for agencies and industrial partners
