What You'll Do Day-To-Day- Perform engineering evaluations related to fracture mechanics, structural integrity, fatigue crack growth, flaw evaluation, and fitness-for-service assessment of nuclear power plant components.
- Support deterministic assessments and, where applicable, probabilistic fracture mechanics applications for operating nuclear plants.
- Evaluate crack growth behavior, fracture toughness, stress inputs, inspection findings, degradation mechanisms, and structural margins for plant components and welded structures.
- Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, analysis summaries, and other supporting technical documentation.
- Support technical evaluations associated with continued service, inspection interval justification, repair assessments, and long-term operation.
- Apply engineering methods, industry standards, and analytical tools to assess component integrity.
- Interface with other engineering disciplines, including materials, stress analysis, design engineering, licensing, and plant engineering, to support integrated technical evaluations.
- Support resolution of technical questions, internal and external review comments.
- Provides suggestions for improving processes and implementing process improvements.
Maintain a safety mindset.
