Uranium, Nuclear Materials and Radiological-Risk Specialists - Remote

Axyde Analytics

Albuquerque, NM • On-site, Remote

$150 - $300/hr

Part-time

Posted 6 days ago

Job description

Work arrangement: Remote within the United States, with potential international travel
Engagement: Contingent, part-time/on-call specialist
Anticipated compensation: $150-$300 per hour, depending on qualifications and assignment, or a negotiated fixed price by work package. $300 per hour is the maximum anticipated rate.
Opportunity
Axyde Analytics is assembling a multidisciplinary expert team for anticipated U.S. government-funded project-scoping assignments involving critical minerals and international infrastructure.
We seek specialists capable of evaluating uranium resources, mining and recovery, nuclear-material supply chains, radioactive or naturally occurring radioactive material, radiological protection, waste management and related regulatory risks.
Potential assignments may involve conventional uranium mines, in-situ recovery, uranium or thorium associated with rare-earth and heavy-mineral projects, phosphate byproducts, mineral-processing residues, nuclear-grade zirconium or other radiologically significant materials.
Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover every technical and regulatory discipline. Applicants should identify the materials, facilities and radiological-risk areas in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise.
Specialist Tracks
We are recruiting experts in one or more of the following tracks:
  • Uranium economic geology and deposit models
  • Resource estimation and reserve confidence
  • Open-pit and underground uranium mining
  • In-situ recovery and wellfield development
  • Acid and alkaline uranium leaching
  • Ion exchange, solvent extraction and yellowcake production
  • Uranium conversion and nuclear-fuel-cycle interfaces
  • Thorium, monazite and radioactive rare-earth feedstocks
  • NORM and technologically enhanced NORM
  • Radiation characterization and dose assessment
  • Worker protection, monitoring and contamination control
  • Radioactive-residue, tailings and water management
  • Transport, storage, safeguards and material accountability
  • Nuclear-grade zirconium, hafnium and related materials
  • Radiological licensing and regulatory strategy
  • Mine closure, remediation and long-term stewardship
  • Emergency planning and radiological incident response
  • Independent nuclear-material and radiological-risk review

Potential Responsibilities
Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may:
  • Evaluate uranium or radioactive-material resource quality, quantity and confidence.
  • Review geology, mineralogy, drilling, sampling, assays and radiometric data.
  • Assess conventional mining or in-situ-recovery alternatives.
  • Evaluate hydrogeology, lixiviant behavior, wellfield design, recovery and restoration requirements.
  • Review leaching, ion exchange, solvent extraction, precipitation and yellowcake production.
  • Assess uranium, thorium and radioactive-element deportment through processing circuits.
  • Evaluate radiation fields, contamination pathways, worker exposure and monitoring requirements.
  • Review tailings, residues, water, ventilation, containment and waste-management systems.
  • Assess transport, storage, security, safeguards and material-accountability requirements.
  • Evaluate applicable host-country licensing, regulatory and institutional capacity.
  • Review nuclear-grade material specifications and customer-qualification requirements where relevant.
  • Assess closure, remediation, groundwater restoration and long-term stewardship obligations.
  • Identify fatal flaws, decisive evidence gaps and additional studies required before advancement.
  • Translate radiological concerns into feasibility-study, technical-assistance or pilot-project tasks.
  • Contribute to capital-cost, operating-cost, schedule and implementation assumptions for required safeguards.
  • Evaluate whether proposed controls are practical in the host-country environment.
  • Participate in sponsor, government, laboratory, regulator, engineering or financing-source discussions.
  • Support international meetings, site visits and field verification when required.
  • Prepare concise radiological and nuclear-material findings for senior government decision-makers.
  • Serve as a discipline lead, contributor, same-discipline alternate or independent technical reviewer.

Required Qualifications
Candidates should possess:
