We are able to entertain all candidates authorized to work without sponsorship now and in the future as we are unable to sponsor Visas for this opportunity.

Your Day-to-Day:

The Radiation Engineering & Analysis group is looking to add early career professional to our team. Ideal candidates are Nuclear Engineering graduates with some professional experience and looking for an opportunity to work in small teams on complex nuclear engineering problems, with a focus on radiation transport and radiation source terms.

Job Responsibilities
REA has supported the design and analysis of PWRs since the early days of the commercial nuclear power industry. Its scope has expanded from the Westinghouse fleet to include the Combustion Engineering PWR fleet, the BWR fleet, and several advanced reactor designs such as the Westinghouse AP1000 plant, AP300TM small modular reactor, and eVinciTM microreactor. Our market is global with customers in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, covering the operating fleet, decommissioning, and new build. To meet this demand, our staff is also global with engineers in the U.S., Spain, Germany, and India.

The primary responsibilities for this role include:
Neutron transport calculations in and around the reactor vessel
Review plant drawings and build transport models
Perform fluence, activation, heating rate, and dosimetry calculations
Critically analyze results & produce technical documentation
Radiation source term calculations
Post-irradiation compositions using ORIGEN, coolant activity, etc.
Support for the Decontamination & Decommissioning (D&D) of retiring plants
Radiation shielding, decay heat, and nuclear criticality analyses
Operating Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) support:
Accident evaluation in compliance with Chapter 15 of NUREG-0800, related NRC Regulatory guides and Spanish Licensing requirements.
Set-point calculations for liquid and gaseous effluents monitors

We use many state-of-the-art codes that were developed in-house including RAPTOR-M3G, our latest 3D discrete-ordinates tool. The in-house codes supplement our use of publicly available nuclear codes (e.g. MCNP, DOORS and SCALE) to meet the specific needs of our customers. Most calculations are performed in the Linux environment.

Who You Are:
As a successful candidate, you will bring the following to the team:
A successful candidate is required to possess:
BS or MS in Nuclear Engineering (or a related field)

Nice-to-Have:
