Mid-Level Power Uprate Analysis Engineer

Overview

Engineer performs analysis and design for nuclear plant power uprates.

Key Responsibilities

• load assessment
• design scoping
• margin evaluation
• impact analysis
• vendor interface
• documentation

Tasks

-Civil/Structural: structural load assessments, seismic and wind evaluations, foundation design reviews, and support modifications for uprate-related equipment -Modification Identification & Scoping: Determine necessary plant modifications to accommodate the new power level, including mechanical, electrical, and I&C changes. Develop scopes of work and support cost-benefit analyses -Cross-Disciplinary Coordination: Work closely with design engineering, licensing, operations, and maintenance teams to ensure alignment on uprate strategy and implementation -Design Margin Evaluation: Conduct detailed engineering studies to assess available design margins across nuclear plant systems, including reactor core, steam generators, feedwater systems, and electrical infrastructure -System Impact Analysis: Evaluate the impact of increased power levels on plant systems, components, and structures. Identify potential bottlenecks or limitations and propose engineering solutions -Vendor & Contractor Interface: Support engagement with external vendors and contractors for specialized studies, equipment upgrades, and implementation planning -Documentation & Reporting: Prepare technical reports, design change packages, and presentations for internal stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Maintain accurate records of evaluations and decisions
