Essential Responsibilities
- Develops and maintains Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) models of nuclear plant design and operational capabilities by logic and sequential modeling of fault scenarios, executing PRA fundamental skills in Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, and Source Term assessments, and using PRA tools and methods to quantify and evaluate accident sequences.
- Interfaces with other disciplines to advance risk-informed designs, developing insights and conclusions from analyses with the ability to clearly communicate findings to peers, management and customers.
- Analyzes regulatory-driven requirements to develop risk-informed solutions that drive safety and reliability into nuclear plant design and provide internal and external customers with cost savings.
- Uses integrated nuclear plant knowledge to assist in developing digital applications such as data processing, condition monitoring, and data analytics to improve customer plant performance and reduce costs.
- Provides technical guidance and training to new and experienced engineers, specialists, and managers.
- Supports the PRA Technical Leader by articulating work plans the PRA team will use to address the technical work scope requested, including those in support of proposals for client work
- Requires specialized knowledge within the function. Influences the development of strategy for the area of responsibility, including control of resources and influences policy formulation.
- May lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity. Communicates difficult concepts and may influence others' options on particular topics. May guide others to consider a different point of view.
