Inžinier jadrovej bezpečnosti – konverzia paliva

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe’s leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. The ILL operates the brightest neutron source in the world and hosts over 2000 visits by scientists per year, who come to carry out world-class research.
The ILL’s Reactor Division is responsible for both the operation of the reactor and the deuterium/tritium recombiner unit and for the design and construction of upgrades to these installations.

Your tasks
Reporting to the Head of the Reactor Division’s Nuclear Safety Unit (Cellule Sûreté) and in strict compliance with the French regulations governing nuclear facilities, you will have the following duties:
• Prepare nuclear safety analyses relating to the fuel conversion programme for the High-Flux Reactor
• Ensure that the nuclear safety objectives are demonstrated by the conversion studies (mechanics, instrumentation and control systems, thermal hydraulics, neutronics, radiation protection, etc.)
• Ensure the completeness of data submitted for the safety review (technical and regulatory compliance studies, inspection programmes)
• Define and draft a methodology to account for the ageing process
• Prepare nuclear safety review analyses for the High-Flux Reactor in all areas of risk covered by the French regulations governing basic nuclear facilities (INBs) (control of the three main safety functions, studies of internal and external hazards)
• Contribute to the drafting of the safety review report
• Maintain the ILL’s baseline nuclear safety documentation (Safety Report, Fire Risk Assessment, General Operating Rules, etc.)
• Prepare requests for authorisation in compliance with ASNR decision n° 2017-DC-0616 on the management of modifications to nuclear facilities, and reply to questions from the ASNR and its experts during the examination of these requests for authorisation.
