This position requires close collaboration with reactor design, materials, and fuel development teams to integrate safety considerations throughout the entire system lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and implement comprehensive radiation protection programs for laboratory and reactor facilities.
Design shielding systems and conduct dose rate calculations using tools such as MCNP, SCALE, or FLUKA.
Monitor and assess occupational radiation exposure and ensure compliance with ALARA principles.
Oversee calibration, maintenance, and deployment of radiation detection and monitoring equipment.
Support reactor testing and prototype operations with real-time radiation safety assessments.
Prepare and maintain regulatory documentation, safety analyses, and licensing submissions.
Train personnel in radiation safety procedures, contamination control, and emergency response.
Interface with NRC, DOE, and other regulatory bodies during audits, inspections, and reporting.
Collaborate on shielding and containment design optimization for compact micro-reactor systems.
Qualifications
M.S. or Ph.D. in Health Physics, Nuclear Engineering, or related discipline.
5–10 years of experience in radiation protection, nuclear facility safety, or regulatory compliance.
Proficiency with radiation transport and shielding analysis codes (MCNP, SCALE, FLUKA, or equivalent).
Familiarity with NRC/DOE regulations, ANSI standards, and radiological control procedures.
Experience with radiation detection instruments, dosimetry programs, and contamination monitoring.
Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
U.S. citizenship or eligibility for security clearance may be required.
