Job Description

SHINE Technologies is seeking a Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer to develop and apply nuclear safety analysis methodologies for safe and effective operations of the subcritical fission processes and accelerator technology for the production of medical isotopes. This work includes transient and accident analysis, dose analysis, process hazard analysis (HAZOPs, FMEAs, etc.), and integrated safety analysis.

Hybrid work arrangement will be considered. Our headquarters is located in Janesville, Wisconsin; we welcome applicants from nearby areas who can effectively collaborate in a virtual environment and be on site at least 2 days a week. Candidates may be asked to travel occasionally for team meetings or onsite engagements, depending on business needs.

The base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $160,000 per year plus a comprehensive compensation package. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Specific duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Perform system analyses of anticipated transients and postulated accidents to demonstrate that safety and licensing requirements are satisfied
• Perform nuclear calculations to determine total amount of material at risk as input into release calculations using industry-standard codes such as MCNP and SCALE
• Perform radiological and chemical dose calculations for normal and accidental releases
• Support Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) activities including hazard evaluations (e.g., HAZOP, FMEA), process hazard analyses (PHA), and accident sequence development
• Review Quality Classification Forms that determine whether equipment is credited in the safety analysis
• Maintain ownership of safety analysis documentation including dose release calculations, HAZOP and FMEA reports, and ISA Summary
• Perform hand calculations using first principles to support and validate analysis results
• Perform code benchmarking and validation analyses to support code qualification and methodology development
• Contribute to licensing documents for NRC review and approval that describe how the suite of nuclear analysis codes will be applied along with inputs, models, and correlations to establish the design bases

Requirements

• B.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering or related discipline from an accredited institution
• Five (5) years of experience in nuclear safety analysis; relevant graduate research or academic experience may be counted toward this requirement
• Demonstrated technical writing skills
• Knowledge of 10 CFR 70 integrated safety analysis requirements
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

Preferences:

• Experience developing radioactive dose calculations including five-factor formula, source term development, and radioactive material transport, including use of standards and guides such as FGR 11 and 12 and DOE-HDBK-3010
• Experience using MCNP and/or SCALE nuclear analysis codes
• Previous training in performing or facilitating process hazards analysis (PHA), including HAZOP or FMEA

Eligibility for employment is conditioned on the applicant’s ability to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. Export Controls. Additionally, applicant’s eligibility may be conditioned based upon meeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically requires a pre-employment drug screen, fingerprinting and criminal background check.
