Purpose

As the Safety Analysis Coordinator, you will provide support to the Nuclear Safety Analysis Group in all matters related to ITER safety, in particular concerning the coordination of the safety analyses and the implementation of the safety requirements in the design. You will perform and coordinate safety analyses, propose and develop safety strategies and requirements and ensure the verification and validation of the codes used for the safety analysis.

Background

Major risks for people, facilities and/or the environment can be triggered by internal hazards (fire, explosion, thermo-hydraulics, etc.) or external hazards (earthquakes, road traffic, neighboring industrial facilities, etc.). Within the Safety and Quality Department (SQD), the present role covers the coordination of the safety analyses required for nuclear risks to be integrated and propagated to the appropriate lines of defense into design, procurement, construction, assembly, qualification, commissioning and operation phases of ITER nuclear facilities.

Key Duties, Scope, and Level of Accountability

  • Coordinates the preparation of the nuclear safety analyses performed by the Nuclear Safety Analysis group;
  • Develops the processes for the performance, verification and validation of those safety analyses;
  • Develops the files in support the verification and validation of the codes used to perform the nuclear safety demonstration;
  • Coordinates and participates in the development of models for the safety analyses;
  • Performs specific safety analyses regarding postulated initiating events and develops the documentation associated with these nuclear safety analyses, in support of the ITER nuclear safety demonstration;
  • Ensures propagation of the nuclear safety requirements arising from the nuclear safety analyses within the project;
  • Verifies the compliance of the identified protection important components with their defined nuclear safety requirements;
  • Prepares technical responses at the request of the nuclear safety authorities during the examination of the ITER safety files, both written documents and by presentations and discussions with the authorities and their technical advisors;
  • Takes editorial responsibility for relevant sections of documentation prepared for submission to the French nuclear safety authorities as part of the ITER licensing process;
  • May be required to work outside ITER Organization reference working hours, including nights, week-ends and public holidays.

Measure of Effectiveness

  • Proactively executes all functions as described above, in line with the relevant deadlines, cost and schedule;
  • Effectively performs nuclear safety analysis activities, ensuring compliance with the French regulations;
  • Shows strong commitment to the ITER safety approach and effectively propagates it within the Organization;
  • Effectively communicates and collaborates with all IO and DA stakeholders to ensure a smooth execution of the required tasks;
  • Develops clear, high quality documentation concerning safety analyses including all relevant nuclear safety requirements;
  • Contributes effectively to the acceptance of the ITER safety case by the French Nuclear Safety Authorities.
