What are the responsibilities and job description for the Visiting Scholar position at UChicago Argonne, LLC?
An advanced system analysis tool SAM is being developed at Argonne National Laboratory for safety analysis of advanced nuclear reactors such as the fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactors (FHR), with advances in physical models, numerical methods, and software design. SAM capability is being enhanced for KP-FHR systems or components for reactor safety considerations and licensing applications.
Position Requirements
In this project, I will assess the readiness of the SAM code for using Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) methodology for KP-FHR licensing analysis. The SAM code capability for various reactor transients will be assessed. Transient simulations of various FHR design-basis events will be analyzed with uncertainty quantification (UQ) included. I may also support the modeling and simulation of other advanced reactor systems, perform verification and validation and UQ of code simulations, or develop advanced UQ methods.
