Description
Job ID 3209162
Role Summary: The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Engineer applies Risk and Reliability methodologies to existing nuclear plants and GEH advanced reactors. Will serve as Subject Matter Expert for PRA technical areas (e.g., initiating events, data, human reliability, internal and external events, low-power and shutdown risks). Demonstrates accountability for, integrates, and develops probabilistic risk assessment technologies, application methodologies, and supporting processes that meet needs.
Essential Responsibilities: As the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Engineer you will:
- Develop and maintain PRA models of nuclear plant design and operational capabilities by logic and sequential modeling of fault scenarios
- Understand and execute PRA fundamental skills in Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, and Source Term assessments
- Use PRA tools and methods to quantify and evaluate accident sequences; develop insights and conclusions from calculations with the ability to clearly present findings to peers, management and customers
- Analyze regulatory-driven requirements to develop risk-informed solutions that provide external customers with cost savings
- Use integrated nuclear plant knowledge to assist in developing digital applications such as data processing, condition monitoring, and data analytics to improve customer plant performance and reduce costs
- Interface with other GEH engineering disciplines to drive reliability and safety into nuclear plant designs
- Prepare and review invention disclosures to protect technology that gives the business a competitive advantage, as well as protecting the intellectual property rights of the company
- Provide technical guidance and training to new and experienced engineers, specialists, and managers
- Author and present state-of-the-art PRA papers in technical publications and conferences
Qualifications/Requirements:
- Bachelor's Degree of Science in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Computer Science
- Minimum 8 years cumulative experience in executing PRA fundamental skills of Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, Source Term assessments or related analytical skills
Desired Characteristics:
- MS in an engineering discipline
- Proven problem analysis skills with demonstrated ability to clearly communicate results
- Minimum 3 years of experience in one or more of the following: Importance Analysis, Uncertainty Analysis, and Failure Modes & Effects Analysis
- General knowledge of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 PRAs
- Experience with PRA logic model and quantification codes, preferably CAFTA
- Detailed knowledge in Boiling Water Reactor operation and safety analysis
- Experience with NRC Regulatory Processes (e.g., Reg Guide 1.174, ASME/ANS PRA Standards, 10 CFR 50.65 and 50.69)
- Experience with international nuclear safety standards and practices
- Experience in operations, maintenance, or engineering support of an operating BWR
