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

Qualifications

•           Minimally PhD in nuclear engineering or a related field or demonstrated experience in radiological source term analysis

•           Experience in Python or C++ for model development

•           Experience with codes such as MELCOR or STACY would be highly considered

•           Ability to initiate collaborative research in a multidisciplinary team

•           Able to conduct innovative research

•           Good team player, enthusiastic and good communication skills
