Be part of an exciting new project developing the next generation of offshore nuclear energy. This is a unique opportunity to apply your nuclear physics knowledge to innovative technology that could help transform the future of offshore power generation.
You'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team developing factory-built nuclear power platforms designed for offshore deployment. Your work will focus on understanding how neutrons and radiation behave within a reactor, helping to ensure the technology is safe, efficient and performs as intended.
This is a great opportunity to work across nuclear physics, modelling and experimental testing, with the chance to see your technical work directly influence real engineering designs.
What you'll do
Carry out neutronics and radiation transport analysis to support reactor core, shielding and layout design. You'll assess criticality safety and contribute to the nuclear physics aspects of the wider safety case.
You'll also design and carry out measurement campaigns, comparing experimental results with computer models to validate your analysis. This will involve working closely with the wider engineering team to ensure the physics supports practical design decisions.
You'll provide advice on how nuclear materials behave under irradiation and help understand how this could impact reactor performance and design.
What you'll need
- Experience with Monte Carlo or deterministic transport codes such as OpenMC, Serpent, MCNP, Geant4 or similar.
- An understanding of nuclear data, cross sections and associated uncertainties.
- Hands-on experience with radiation detection and measurement would be highly beneficial.
- An interest in criticality safety, irradiated materials or nuclear fuel behaviour would be an advantage.
