Licensing Intern

Description

You will work closely with licensing engineers, regulatory specialists, and cross-functional engineering teams to help advance Hadron’s reactor design through the regulatory process—gaining valuable experience at the intersection of engineering, regulation, and public policy.

The Licensing Intern will support Hadron Energy’s Licensing and Regulatory Affairs team in preparing and managing documentation associated with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) microreactor licensing process. This role provides hands-on exposure to real NRC engagements, regulatory submittals, and the inner workings of licensing strategy for next-generation nuclear reactors.

• Assist in tracking NRC requests for additional information (RAIs), action items, and regulatory milestones
• Contribute to internal documentation, trackers, and summaries used by the licensing team
• Monitor NRC rulemakings, Federal Register notices, and public meeting summaries relevant to microreactors
• Assist with preparation of presentations and briefing materials for NRC public meetings and internal reviews
• Assist with quality checks to ensure licensing documents meet internal QA and formatting standards
• Support coordination of meetings, agendas, and notes related to NRC and government engagements
• Conduct research on NRC regulations, regulatory guidance, and advanced reactor policy developments
• Help maintain document control, version tracking, and records management for licensing materials
• Work with engineering teams to help gather and organize technical inputs for regulatory documents
• Support preparation, formatting, and organization of NRC licensing submittals, white papers, and regulatory correspondence
