You must meet the qualifications for this position by no later than 30 calendar days after the closing date of this announcement and before placement in the position.
The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. Demonstrated knowledge of structures, systems, component design and general operating characteristics of nuclear reactors.
(Describe your experience performing reviews and evaluations in the design and functional capability of nuclear power plants - including currently operating reactors, new light-water reactors, and non light-water reactors - to withstand transient and accident conditions.)
2. Demonstrated experience applying the principles, theories, and practices of probabilistic risk analysis in the assessment of operating commercial nuclear power reactors. Experience in reviewing risk-informed license amendment requests and pilot risk applications for operating reactors should be highlighted.
(Describe experience, education, and training which demonstrates your knowledge of the principles, theories and practices of engineering or physical science as it relates to the application of reliability and risk analysis in nuclear power facility design, analysis, testing, maintenance and/or operations. Provide examples demonstrating your experience in the application of probabilistic risk analysis for nuclear power plants. Describe your accomplishments in areas such as Levels 1 and 2, internal and external events PRAs; human reliability analysis; common cause failure analysis; and fault tree and event tree modeling. Describe your experience reviewing risk informed license amendment requests and pilot risk applications for operating reactors; applying NRC guidance (i.e., SRP Chapter 19, RG 1.174, RG 1.200) to those applications; resolving issues with the licensee during these reviews; and writing safety evaluations.)
3. Demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and experience in the formulation of sound technical judgement on the adequacy of existing and proposed systems design and operation.
(Describe specific experience, training, and accomplishments which demonstrate your ability to formulate technical judgement. Provide several examples of judgements, recommendations, or actions you have taken in regard to the adequacy of reactor systems design or analytical methods used in reactor systems analyses. Describe your ability to identify complex issues and recommend successful approaches for resolution. Highlight examples that demonstrate resourcefulness, initiative, and ingenuity in completing the work.)
4. Demonstrated ability to prioritize, plan, schedule, manage, and resolve regulatory or technical issues.
(Describe specific experience, training, and accomplishments that demonstrate your ability to formulate technical judgment. Provide examples of how your knowledge in thermal-hydraulics was used to support your professional experience. Provide examples of judgments, recommendations made, or actions you have taken in regard to the adequacy of reactor systems design or analytical methods used in reactor systems analyses. Describe your ability to perform the review of a technical issue and recommend successful approaches for resolution. Highlight examples that demonstrate resourcefulness, planning, initiative, and ingenuity in completing the work.)
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE is defined as demonstrated skill in applying the principles, theories, and practices of PRA in the assessment of complex nuclear facilities (e.g., operating commercial nuclear power reactors, new reactor designs, fuel cycle, etc.).
