Conduct both qualitative and quantitative radiological safety evaluations of nuclear fuel cycle activities, including using simple tools like spreadsheet or Python calculations, or specialized modeling software. Scope of activities will likely include biosphere dose assessments. Support nuclear licensing reviews and, as needed, environmental reviews. Evaluate regulations and regulatory guidance for their applicability to new and advanced nuclear technologies. Contribute to written technical reports and regulatory documents and communicate technical concepts clearly with clients and colleagues. Requirements: Requires a Bachelors, Masters or a PhD in Health Physics, Environmental Health Physics, Radiation Protection, Environmental Science, or related science degree with sufficient experience in nuclear or radiological safety. Those with graduate degrees may require fewer years of experience. 3 years: Experience applying understanding of nuclear safety concepts and their regulatory context is required. Experience conducting radiological assessments of the nuclear power fuel cycle or the regulation of radioactive materials is preferred. Applicable pathway or biosphere dose modeling experience with available radiological assessment software and tools is desired. Excellent speaking and writing skills and the ability to work independently and in multi-disciplinary teams are required.
