Technik spracovania rádioaktívneho odpadu

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is an international research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. It is Europe’s leading centre for neutron research and operates a nuclear reactor (HRF),
providing the brightest neutron source in the world.
Come and join our team in the Radioactive Waste Management and Decontamination group (GTDA), comprising a Head of Group, an engineer and eventually five technicians, which forms part of the ILL’s Health Physics, Safety
and Environment Service (SRSE).

Your tasks
As a technician, you will play a key role in the management of radioactive waste, as well as during work operations performed in radioactive environments at the ILL.
This post is primarily related to the management radioactive waste (75%). Here you will have the following main duties:
• Separating and managing waste (dismantling, cutting, drying, etc.), following the relevant procedures
• Conditioning waste in the appropriate packaging (VLLW, LLW, ILW)
• Completing documentation for production of radioactive waste packages

• Assisting in the production of medical radioisotopes (acceptance and inspection of empty casks, decontamination following removal from the hot cell, loading of active casks, etc.)
• Carrying out preparation and clean-up operations for work areas in radiation protection zones (installing containment tents, air monitors and breathing air supply units, etc.)
• Decontaminating areas, equipment and tools (using pressure washers, cleaning cloths, etc.)
• Supporting work operations in radiation protection zones (supplying consumables, assisting those working in radioactive environments to put on and take off protective clothing, etc.)
• Managing “active” clothing (through the conditioning, inspection, shipping and acceptance stages)
• Changing ventilation filters, gloves in glove boxes, etc.
• Manage equipment and stocks of consumables (contracts for maintenance, suppliers and orders).

Please note that all applicants are subject to administrative screening (background checks) and that for this post medical fitness for work under ionising radiation is required.
