Skills
Candidate Availability
Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will develop datasets to model coupled three-dimensional kinetic simulations of asymmetric steam-pipe ruptures using SCIENCE calculation codes. You will define relevant assumptions and parameters, including rupture sizes, temperature differences between loops, and axial power differences, then quantify their effects on protection-system responses and safety margins.
Requirements
- Master's-level engineering degree or equivalent university degree in progress
- Basic knowledge of reactor operation or safety
- Knowledge of neutronics, thermal engineering, or thermohydraulics
- Python programming knowledge is preferred
Responsibilities
- Develop datasets for coupled three-dimensional kinetic simulations of asymmetric steam-pipe ruptures
- Use SCIENCE calculation codes
- Define relevant modeling assumptions and parameters
- Assess the effects of parameters on protection-system responses and safety margins
