Key skills for this role
The Exam Developer will play a key role in designing and executing the licensing examination program for TerraPower’s FOAK fast sodium reactor (FSR). This includes all Initial License Training (ILT) program examinations and Licensed Operator Continuing Training (LOCT) examinations, ensuring full compliance with NUREG‑1021, 10 CFR Part 55, and future advanced‑reactor guidance (e.g., NEI 23‑01, NRC DRO‑ISG‑2301‑1, DANU‑ISG‑2022‑05).
A core element of this role is to develop and gain NRC approval of a customized Knowledge and Abilities (K/A) Catalog or equivalent competency framework tailored to fast sodium reactor technology, establishing the foundation for operator licensing, regulatory compliance, and long-term training program accreditation.
This individual will collaborate with internal reactor design, I&C, human factors, and training specialists—as well as external stakeholders such as the NRC—to ensure exam content validity, reliability, and traceability to plant systems and licensing requirements
