Job Description:
The Core Design BWR-Richland (FDC-AR) department directly
supports the reactor core design and reload licensing analysis
needs for BWR fuel customers. The department performs a full range
of neutronics, fuel management, and safety analysis of the fuel and
core design including ongoing development of codes and methods as
well as maintenance of existing codes and methods used in those
analyses. BWR neutronics engineers are involved in developing
nuclear fuel and core designs and analysis methods, establishing
mechanical and fuel design safety limits, including evaluation of
critical heat flux during normal operation and transient events,
and developing neutronic and thermal-hydraulic code inputs and
methods to support the fuel reload analyses and plant operations.
The FCD-AR department works closely with other engineering
departments (mechanical, materials), customers, Project Management,
and regulators. As part of the worldwide Fuel Design (FD)
organization at FDC-AR interfaces with FD organizations at other
locations in France, Germany, and the U.S. Within the worldwide
Fuel Design (FD) organization of Framatome, the Richland location
is the BWR Center of Excellence. Also as part of the U.S. Fuel
Business Unit, FDC-AR interfaces with the fuel manufacturing plant,
which is also located in Richland.Primary responsibilities include,
but are not limited to: Assist with the design and licensing
analyses of BWR fuel reloads. Work as part of a team that includes
engineers from other departments and Codes and Methods development
engineers as well as Project Managers responsible for different BWR
fuel reload customers. Interface with and interaction with BWR
customers usually starts as soon as basic reload design and
analysis engineering capabilities have been established Fuel
assembly and core design Reload safety analysis of BWR reload
designs Authoring and review of various design and reload licensing
reports and documents Review of engineering work performed by other
team members Reload design and analysis engineers work together
with Codes and Methods development engineers to continue
improvement and maintenance of methods and automation tools. All
candidates must meet the following minimum requirements in order to
be considered for this opportunity. Candidates who exceed minimum
qualifications may be considered for a higher level position.
Engineer III: BS in Nuclear Engineering plus 3 - 5 years experience
in reactor physics or fuel management engineering experience. An
advanced engineering degree may be substituted for related work
experience (MS 1-2 yrs. or PhD 1-3 yrs.). Engineer IV: BS in
Nuclear Engineering plus 5 - 7 years experience in reactor physics
or fuel management engineering experience. An advanced engineering
degree may be substituted for related work experience (MS 1-2 yrs.
or PhD 1-3 yrs.). Principal Engineer: BS in Nuclear Engineering
plus 7 - 10 years experience in reactor physics or fuel management
engineering experience. An advanced engineering degree may be
substituted for related work experience (MS 1-2 yrs. or PhD 1-3
yrs.). BWR core design experience is required. Work experience in
the areas of neutronics/physics and/or thermal hydraulics design of
BWR nuclear fuel assemblies and core reloads is required. Basic
experience and capabilities with Microsoft Office software products
(Word, Excel, etc.) are required. Must possess good verbal and
written communication skills. Must have a pro-active approach to
problem identification and resolution. Must have ability and
attitude to learn a variety of new procedures, processes, and
tools, while maintaining various stages of production. Must be able
to work well in a fast-paced team environment. The following

candidates who apply for this position. Advanced degree (MS or PhD)
is a plus but not a strict requirement. Experience with BWR nuclear
fuel neutronics analysis spectral/lattice codes (CASMO-3, CASMO-4,
etc) and core simulator codes (SIMULATE, MICROBURN-B2, etc) is a
plus. Experience working with engineering workstation computers and
LINUX and/or UNIX operating environments Computer
programming/software capabilities and experience in FORTRAN, C/C++,
SMALLTALK are a plus. Framatome is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
