Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Nuclear Safety Analyst to work on our Reactor & Nuclear Safety Engineering team. Our team works a 4x10 schedule located out of our ATR facility at the Site with every Friday off. Identify and analyze radiological and chemical hazards for all hazard category facilities. Assess risk and potential adverse effects on facility workers, colocated workers, and the public. Identify applicable requirements, perform analyses, and author safety bases to document assumptions, results, and requirements for hazard prevention or mitigation. Use sound engineering principles to identify necessary controls to reduce risks. Perform or arrange for engineering studies supporting hazard and accident analyses. Prepare, update, or revise various nuclear facility safety documents, including DSAs, TSRs, USQs, transportation plans, and BIOs, to obtain DOE operating approval. Review facility changes or new information for safety basis impact. Maintain effective interfaces with internal and external technical experts. Responsibilities Include: - Responsible for 10 CFR 830 by performing nuclear facility safety analyses in accordance with DOE regulatory and company quality standards. Prepare and maintain nuclear facility safety basis documents, including documented safety analysis (DSA) and technical safety requirements (TSRs). - Support the implementation of the new and revised DSAs and TSRs for nuclear facilities to ensure that TSRs and DSA commitments are adequately implemented in facility procedures. - Develop controls that are both effective and most easily executed by operations. - Ensure high quality, technically defensible products are submitted to the DOE for review & approval. - Provide technical peer reviews for new and revised technical products, principally nuclear facility DSAs and TSRs. - Support project execution activities which include reviews of routine and abnormal operating procedures and operational events or design activities with respect to the facility safety basis. - Review facility modifications and long-range planning to ensure nuclear safety requirements are met. - Execute the unreviewed safety question (USQ) process for proposed facility and procedure changes. - Execute the safety-in-design process for new nuclear facilities or major modifications. - Conduct facility hazard classification, hazard identification, assessment, accident analyses, facility categorization, and safety system classification. - Interface and build relationships with front line organizations, such as researchers, project managers, and operations, to ensure safety basis projects are completed and submitted to the Department of Energy (DOE) for approval on schedule. - Identify DSA commitments and derives TSRs to ensure hazardous and radioactive material releases are prevented or mitigated. - Collaborate in establishing objectives, setting priorities, and advising management of nuclear safety issues. - Perform and review thermal-hydraulic transient analyses in support of the ATR safety basis.
