- Manage SPRA work performed outside of the Company in coordination with plant design, deterministic safety analysis, and other disciplines.
- Ensure that the SPRA is appropriate and used for the reactor design and within regulatory requirements, guidance, and standards such as risk-informed performance-based technology guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors (RG 1.233 and NEI 18-04) and ASME/ANS Non-Light Water PRA standard.
- Lead the development of the planning and schedule for SPRA-related activities.
- Provide technical guidance to engineers and managers on reliability and various SPRA-related topics.
- Participate in SPRA peer reviews.
- Review and support the development of event and fault trees for SPRA models.
- Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish core and reactor SSC functional, reliability, performance, safety, and quality requirements, as well as support the overall design.
- Establish and maintain documentation of model development and analysis results.
- Perform engineering reviews of analyses and other engineering design media.
- Develop containment fault trees and event trees to reflect the most up-to-date design using CAFTA.
