About the role

Nuclear Safety Integration Lead coordinating and integrating technical inputs to develop and defend Aalo's DOE safety basis and Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA).

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain an integrated PDSA content, requirements, and responsibility plan that defines scope, ownership, interfaces, and delivery milestones for all contributing technical teams.
  • Coordinate the preparation, integration, internal review, and technical defense of the PDSA and related DOE safety documentation, working with the DOE authorization lead and responsible technical teams.
  • Translate applicable DOE safety-basis requirements and standards into specific analysis, report, and data needs for contributing engineering teams, including clear interfaces and dependencies.
  • Identify analytical methods, codes, and key assumptions requiring DOE alignment, and coordinate early and ongoing engagement with DOE through the DOE authorization lead to confirm their suitability for intended safety-basis applications.
  • Coordinate the integration of inputs from Risk and Reliability, including PRA, deterministic safety analysis, dose consequences, thermal-hydraulics, neutronics, fuel performance, hazards analysis, and supporting engineering information into the DOE safety case.
  • Identify gaps, inconsistent assumptions, missing interfaces, and unresolved technical questions that could affect the PDSA, DOE authorization, design, resources, or schedule, and communicate them to the appropriate decision-makers.
  • Establish a structured process for providing safety and risk feedback to design teams and tracking the resolution of safety-related design questions.
  • Define how safety inputs are communicated to design teams, document the basis for their disposition, maintain traceability to affected analyses and requirements, and confirm closure with responsible teams.
  • Facilitate technical integration meetings and working sessions to resolve cross-discipline analytical interfaces, assumptions, and dependencies.
  • Track and manage the status of PDSA deliverables, technical inputs, and open items across contributing teams, escalating schedule or quality risks as appropriate.
  • Support the development of responses to DOE requests for additional information, safety evaluation reports, and other regulatory interactions related to the safety basis.
  • Coordinate with the nuclear safety team to ensure consistency between PDSA content and other safety basis documents, including hazard analyses, TSRs, and USQ evaluations.
  • Maintain configuration management of integrated PDSA content, ensuring version control and traceability of technical inputs and assumptions across contributing disciplines.
  • Support preparation for DOE readiness assessments and authorization milestones by ensuring the completeness and defensibility of the integrated safety case.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in nuclear safety analysis, safety basis development, or technical integration at DOE nuclear facilities.
  • Demonstrated experience coordinating multi-discipline technical inputs into DOE safety basis documents such as DSAs, PDSAs, or equivalent.
  • Strong working knowledge of DOE safety-basis requirements, including 10 CFR 830 and DOE-STD-3009.
  • Experience translating regulatory requirements into specific engineering analysis and documentation needs.
  • Familiarity with probabilistic risk assessment, deterministic safety analysis, and dose consequence methodologies as applied to nuclear facility safety cases.
  • Experience coordinating with DOE on analytical methods, codes, and assumptions for safety-basis applications.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to present complex, multi-discipline safety arguments clearly and concisely.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent technical deliverables and drive cross-functional teams toward integrated outcomes.
  • Effective interpersonal skills with the ability to build productive working relationships across engineering, operations, and regulatory teams.
