NRC looking to fill open ACRS position

About the ACRS: The ACRS’s primary focus is on safety issues associated with the operation of commercial nuclear power plants and regulatory initiatives, including risk-informed and performance-based regulations, license renewal, power uprates, new reactor applications, and the use of mixed oxide and high-burnup fuels. In addition, the ACRS may be asked to provide advice on radiation protection, radioactive waste management, and earth sciences in the NRC’s licensing reviews for fuel fabrication, enrichment, and waste disposal facilities.

Straight from the NRC: According to an NRC press release, “The commission is seeking qualified individuals with extensive experience in nuclear fuel cycle chemistry, structural integrity, and/or metallurgy applicable to nuclear facilities and/or nuclear power plant systems or components. It would be useful if the candidate also has experience in seismic analysis. The best-qualified candidates must have at least 20 years of education and experience in those specific areas, as well as a distinguished record of achievement in one or more areas of nuclear science and technology or a related engineering discipline.”
