Radiation Safety Officer

Join us in our mission to commercialize fusion

Were all about solving climate change through fusion energy one Stellarator at a time. Formed in 2019 a team of globally recognized fusion scientists along with veteran business leaders who previously scaled energy technologies came together with the ambition to fulfill the bold decadal vision of commercial fusion. If changing the world wasnt incentive enough heres why you should join us :

We designed built and operated the worlds leading Stellarators.

We aim to commercialize in 10 years.

We know what were doing our leadership team has over 150 years experience.

Weve already been recognized for our work by the Department of Energy through an award and funding.

We accept no intellectual boundaries and celebrate creativity.

If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision join us as a Radiation Safety Officer . This is what you need to know :

Location : Knoxville (TN)

Salary : Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract : Permanent full time

Reporting to : Senior Director Regulatory Affairs & Licensing

Your role in the mission :

We are seeking a skilled Radiation Safety Officer specializing in health physics to join our team here at Type One Energy. You will play a pivotal role in the development implementation management and continual improvement of our radiation protection program essential for licensing and compliance to regulations and license conditions.

Your expertise in neutronics modelling & analysis radioactive waste management dose projections and radiation protection will contribute to the safe design and operation of our fusion energy technology. To develop manage and implement a justified and optimized radiation protection program we will also leverage the expertise that exists in the public sector so you will also be responsible for managing relationships with third party stakeholders.

You will be conducting neutronic and photons analyses through MCNP simulations and subsequently shutdown dose rate calculation from resulting activation. The identification of radiation operational and protection quantities for practical evaluation of doses in the context of justification and optimization of our radiation protection program will be one of your key responsibilities (zoning and access control areas radiation monitoring program including dosimetry waste management program including transport training program testing and calibration of instrument etc).

You will also have responsibility for advising on design and operating options to best satisfy regulatory requirements and ALARA principles. Another important component of your role will be to support the development of our safety cases for prelicensing and licensing regulatory reviews.

• Perform neutronics and photons calculations and simulations to analyze neutron and photon fluxes energy deposition radiological inventories and source terms and dose conversion for practical evaluation against regulated dose limits.
• Develop implement and manage the company radiation protection program including the following aspects : physical protection radioactive waste management and transport emergency procedures emergency preparedness & response and decommissioning planning.
• Conduct risk assessments and provide appropriate recommendations for safety measures throughout the preconceptual conceptual final design process and operating of fusion systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including Physicists Engineers and Technicians to integrate radiation protection considerations into overall fusion reactor designs.
