Job Description

Holtec International and its subsidiary companies are designing an unfailingly safe and secure source of clean energy using nuclear fission, called the SMR-160 small modular reactor. The position is offered by SMR LLC as a member of the Holtec International family, a global turnkey supplier of equipment and systems for nuclear, solar, geothermal, and fossil power generation sectors of the energy industry.

Come join a growing multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers designing the next generation nuclear power plant. Holtec International is seeking Nuclear Radiation Protection Engineers to perform radiation shielding, radionuclide release/transport, and dose assessment in support of nuclear plant operations, as needed for development and licensing of the SMR-160 passive, natural circulation, integral light water reactor. This position requires a highly-motivated individual with the flexibility and willingness to work on a wide array of technical and regulatory topics. Engineer will be part of a team executing a U.S. Government cost-shared development program requiring efficient completion of engineering assignments.

Typical Responsibilities would include:

• Determine radiation source terms and transport to various systems and components at the SMR-160 pant during normal operation and transient conditions.
• Develop radiation protection design features and perform radiation shielding, occupational exposure, and site dose assessment for the SMR-160 plant during normal operation and transient conditions.
• Report preparation and licensing documentation
• Participation in meetings with clients, collaborators, and with the United State Nuclear Regulatory Commission
