Engineer, PSA and DSA

JOB SUMMARY/PURPOSE

The PSA (Probabilistic Safety Assessment) and DSA (Deterministic Safety Analysis) Engineer will play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of our nuclear power plant. This position requires a deep understanding of nuclear safety principles, as well as expertise in performing probabilistic and deterministic analyses. The engineer will be responsible for conducting assessments, developing safety models, and providing technical support for safety-related activities.

JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Conduct probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) to quantify risks associated with various plant operations and events.

• Perform deterministic safety analyses (DSAs) to evaluate the behavior of the plant under specific accident conditions.

• Develop, update, and maintain safety models, including fault trees, event trees, and risk assessment methodologies.

• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to incorporate safety considerations into plant design, modifications, and upgrades.

• Support the licensing process by providing technical documentation and analysis for regulatory submissions.

• Participate in safety reviews, audits, and inspections conducted by internal and external stakeholders.

• Contribute to the development and implementation of safety policies, procedures, and training programs.

• Stay abreast of industry best practices, regulatory changes, and technological advancements in nuclear safety.
