What is the difference between Remote Nuclear Physicist vs Remote Nuclear Engineer?

AspectRemote Nuclear PhysicistRemote Nuclear Engineer
Required CredentialsAdvanced degree in physics or nuclear science, certificationsEngineering degree, certifications in nuclear engineering
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, academic institutions, government agencies (remote options available)Design, safety analysis, and project management (remote options available)
Industry UsageResearch, academia, government research labsPower plants, safety systems, nuclear facility design

Remote Nuclear Physicists primarily focus on theoretical research, data analysis, and scientific modeling, often working in academic or government research settings. Remote Nuclear Engineers concentrate on designing systems, safety protocols, and operational support, with some roles offering remote work. Both roles require specialized education and certifications, but their core responsibilities and industry applications differ.

Job description

Job Title: Safety Analysis Engineer, Nuclear Location: Bellevue, WA Type: Contract, 12 months Contractor Work Model: Remote Overview This contract Safety Analysis Engineer role performs deterministic nuclear safety analysis and transient/accident modeling (RELAP5-3D or similar) to support U.S. NRC licensing submittals. The engineer develops and documents system models, analyzes AOOs/DBEs/DBAs and licensing-basis events, supports FSAR-style reporting, and collaborates across engineering teams on methods development, V&V/benchmarking, and uncertainty/sensitivity studies.

Responsibilities

  • Perform deterministic safety analysis using RELAP5-3D code for the Natrium sodium fast reactor
  • Analyze design basis accidents (DBAs) and licensing basis events (LBEs) to support reactor licensing with US NRC
  • Model and integrate various plant systems within safety analysis computer codes
  • Develop safety analysis reports, including the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on core and reactor SSC requirements and licensing documentation
  • Contribute to safety method development, code assessment, scaling analysis, and validation activities
  • Maintain documentation of models and analysis results
  • Conduct engineering reviews of analysis and design deliverables
  • Assess plant transient benchmark tests and perform relevant benchmark calculations
  • Support implementation of software capabilities for transient and accident analysis

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in nuclear safety analysis and reactor system modeling
  • Proficiency with safety analysis software such as RELAP5, TRACE, TRAC, SAS4A/SASSYS-1, or similar
  • Experience in transient and accident analysis for NRC submittals (e.g., Chapter 15 FSAR)
  • Strong knowledge of nuclear systems thermal-hydraulics, reactor physics, and transient phenomena
  • Familiarity with nuclear reactor instrumentation, control systems, and safety regulation compliance
  • Degree: B.S. with 10+ years or M.S./Ph.D. with 5-7+ years of nuclear engineering or relevant field
  • Demonstrated analytical, modeling, and reporting skills
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary teams and under quality assurance programs (NQA-1)
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python, Fortran, C++, or similar are a plus
