Nuclear Safety Analyst

Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Nuclear Safety Analyst to work in our Facility Safety Engineering department. Our team works at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) with a 4x10 schedule with every Friday off. This position has the potential to be assigned to work on-site at our EROB facility in-town in Idaho Falls and work a 9x80 schedule with every other Friday off. You will report to the Nuclear Safety Engineering Manager, and you will manage the nuclear facility document safety analyses (DSAs) and technical safety requirements (TSRs) updates, revisions, or creation to ensure compliance to 10 CFR 830 Subpart B. Identify and analyze facility/activity radiological and chemical hazards for all hazard category 1, 2, 3, and less than 3 facilities. Assess risk (frequency and consequences) of potential adverse effects of hazards on facility workers, collocated workers, and the public. Identify applicable requirements, perform analyses, and author safety bases that document assumptions, results, and requirements to prevent or mitigate hazards. Based on sound engineering principles identify controls (design and administrative) necessary to reduce risks to acceptable levels. Perform or arrange for engineering and/or technical studies supporting hazard and accident analyses. Prepare, update, or revise various types of nuclear facility documented safety analyses (DSAs), technical safety requirements (TSRs), un-reviewed safety questions (USQs), transportation plans, and basis for interim operations (BIOs), as necessary, for obtaining operating approval from the DOE, as necessary. Responsibilities Include: Support and implement the Nuclear Safety Program, which includes requirements management, identifying and implementing improvements to current procedures and processes, performing programmatic assessments, and conducting Laboratory-wide training associated with nuclear safety requirements. 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 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. Communicate frequently with project managers, design engineers, criticality safety engineers, and other analysts in tracking and coordinating analysis activities and project design progress. Maintains access to facilities, as assigned. May provide direction for evaluation and resolution of complex engineering problems. May lead reactor regulatory development and licensing tasks and direct the efforts of project team members.
