Job Description

Come join a growing multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers designing the next generation nuclear power plant. EGS is seeking Radiation Protection Engineers to perform reactor shielding analysis, dose rates estimation, and source terms evaluations as needed for development and licensing of the SMR-300 PWR 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, and eager to learn new skills to create feasible/practical solutions to challenging design problems. Engineer will be part of a team executing a U.S. Government cost-shared development program requiring efficient completion of engineering assignments.

Must be US Citizen.


Typical Responsibilities would include:

• Determine radiation source terms and transport to various systems and components at the SMR-300 plant during normal operation and transient conditions.
• Develop radiation protection design features and perform radiation shielding, occupational exposure, and site dose assessment for the SMR-300 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
