Full Job Posting
Job Purpose
- Develop, review and implement the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) NRM models, programs and applications, including Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model and application, Accident Management Program (AMP) and Severe Accident Analysis (SAA) program for the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) in
PRA Model
- Design, review and implement PRA model as operated to meet regulatory requirements for Operating License Application (OLA) and ensure the safety of BNPP against severe accident.
- Identify event trees and fault trees based on plant specific design and operation conditions to respond to Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulations (FANR) Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) and support various PRA applications.
- Monitor the PRA database (equipment failure data, reactor trip data, etc.) to ensure the as is plant data is reflected into the PRA model and Risk Monitoring System (RIMS)/ Phoenix model and to get current PRA insights.
- Review updates to the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) 19.1, Probabilistic Risk Assessment, and PRA Notebooks after reviewing PRA model procedures to ensure its integration with other departments to enhance operational efficiency.
- Evaluate PRA model against international industry experts such as Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Pressurized Water Reactor Owner Group (PWROG), etc. to improve PRA methodologies and documentations.
PRA Applications
- Review independent plant risk evaluation and provide PRA results to the plant operations, maintenance, and work management organization to inform safe and reliable operations.
- Analyze risk insights obtained from the PRA model to complement design, construction and operation of the facility in nuclear power plant thus improving plant safety and minimize nuclear risk.
Post Fukushima Action Plan
- Assess and analyze all elements of Post Fukushima Action Plan to ensure compliance with international standards; reviews including: existing respected action plans (e.g., IAEA), BNPP specific design and severe accidents, severe accident mitigating equipment, equipment survivability, etc.
- Develop and review short term and long term Post Fukushima action plan of prevention and mitigation strategies to enhance the safety of BNPP against key external events: fire, flooding, seismic, sand storm/sand dust, tornado, tsunami, etc.
Severe Accident Analysis
- Design components of Severe Accident Analysis program to support accident analysis at BNPP and ensure compliance with FANR regulation, including: Severe Accident Prevention Analysis for Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS), Mid Loop operation, Station Black out, Fire, Intersystem Loss of Coola
