Next-Generation Nuclear Power Design
Holtec International and its subsidiary companies are designing an unconditionally safe and secure source of clean energy, the SMR-300 small modular reactor. Come join a growing multidisciplinary team of engineers designing the next generation nuclear power station. The I&C Engineer will author and review I&C engineering documents, and will help develop the I&C safety case chapter for submission to the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) for use in the Generic Design Assessment (GDA). The candidate will have detailed knowledge of I&C engineering as applied to a nuclear power station.
The I&C Engineer will build strong a relationship with the US SMR I&C team. The UK GDA is a critical element for commercial deployment of SMR-300s word-wide, and this role provides a unique opportunity in an exciting emerging technology and energy marketplace.
Experience should include:
- Experience in integrated digital plant control design, specifically control and protection systems and diverse actuation systems.
- Experience with applicable (including nuclear-specific) IEEE, IEC, ISA, and ANSI codes and standards.
