The Fusion Technology (FT) Division draws on multidisciplinary expertise to develop fusion relevant technologies from concept to demonstration in relevant environments to enable the delivery of commercial fusion power plants.
As part of the FT Division the Applied Radiation Technology Group (ART) develops fusion technologies and R&D programmes by leading the application and development of nuclear modelling software nuclear diagnostics for neutron and gamma detection analysis of nuclear data and benchmarking codes and workflows through experiments. The group performs highly detailed accurate and reliable timedependent simulations and modelling in neutronics and waste management to support concept development and detailed design safety case and operations and operates a stateoftheart radiometrics laboratory.
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference Join our team and contribute to the future of fusion energy. As Nuclear Analyst you will contribute to the successful delivery of services and R&D delivered by the ART group to model nuclear environments and predict nuclear responses (including dose rates activation and tritium production) to drive the design commissioning operation maintenance and decommissioning of fusion machines and experiments and support the realisation of fusion power plants.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Support the delivery of highquality nuclear analysis across the ART group.
- Provide technical support in the delivery of nuclear analysis for internal and external stakeholders.
