Nuclear Safety Engineer

at  EDF Limited

As we move into the next stage of our power station’s lifecycle, here at Dungeness B Power Station we’re hoping you can join us in this key role for nuclear safety. We have recently commenced the defueling phase of operation and this is an exciting opportunity to be a key player in the success of this transition.

Your everyday roles and responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining Tech Specs and Living Safety Case documents to reflect any changes to the Safety Case or to take account of relevant plant changes
• Advising on the application of Tech Specs and providing assistance in determining whether plant can be claimed to be fully performing its safety function
• Authoring/verifying Engineering Change submission to modify Safety Case Arguments, Tech Spec or plant items
• Providing nuclear safety specialist assessment to assist in providing appropriate Safety Case arguments for simple plant modification and providing a station view on the practicalities of implementation for centrally produced Cat 1/Cat 2 modifications
• Supporting the defence in depth process through defueling
• Supporting the Emergency Scheme to provide advice on cooling strategy in fault conditions
• Supporting decision making on station by providing appropriate challenge to ensure bias for safety
• Providing an interface with internal (INA) and external (ONR) regulators to explain and support the station’s Safety Case position.

More experienced NSEs would be expected to become Categorisers and Case Officers for Engineering Changes.
