Role OverviewThe Shielding Analysis Engineer is responsible for defining, developing, and executing radiation shielding and radiation transport analyses to support reactor design, plant layout, performance evaluation, and safety assurance. This role involves working closely with the broader design team to solicit and capture requirements, establish the scope of shielding evaluations, and implement appropriate source term, activation, dose rate, streaming, and shielding models and methods.
What You Will Do
Perform the complete range of actions involved in supporting shielding design, radiation transport analysis, and dose assessment for using Monte Carlo and supporting codes on Oklo facilities. Perform calculations and analyses in Monte Carlo based radiation transport codes such as MCNP, SCALE, OpenMC, and Serpent. Perform source term, activation, streaming, skyshine, and dose-rate analyses using appropriate Monte Carlo and deterministic methods.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We are looking for a Shielding Analysis Engineer that is passionate about clean energy, willing and able to learn quickly, knowledgeable about fast reactor design and radiation shielding considerations, highly skilled with Monte Carlo radiation transport tools, and skilled with shielding, source-term, activation, and dose assessment methods.
