Nuclear Engineer, Radiation Protection Io1199

Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for a sustainable, non-carbon emitting global energy supply.

The ITER Organization (IO), based in the southern France, welcomes best talents who can together prepare the way to this new energy in a truly multi-cultural work environment.

As the IO attracts and retains people coming from a vast array of different backgrounds and cultures, discrimination and exclusion cannot be tolerated. The IO believes it is our diverse perspectives and background that gives unique strength and value to the ITER mission, regardless of race, member nation, gender, religion, status, sexual orientation, or disability - all are welcome and respected at ITER.

The IO is committed to fostering a fair and equitable environment across all areas of the project, including compensation and benefits.

ITER CARE Values (Collaboration / Accountability / Respect / Excellence):
We perform our work with care, we care for the well-being of colleagues, our families and ourselves, and we care about the health of the planet for generations to come. CARE drives our work and our behaviors at ITER.

**Key Duties and Responsibilities**

**Primary Responsibilities**:

- Acts as Nuclear Engineer for radiation protection across a variety of systems/activities/teams.
- Oversees the implementation of nuclear and radiation safety principles across various ITER activities that may expose personnel to ionizing radiation, especially during construction and radiography testing.**:

- Manages the safety provisions associated with the use of ionizing sources and radiographic equipment on ITER site.
- Develops and provides nuclear safety analyses, including radiation protection analyses and documentation needed to fulfill regulatory requirements (technical prescriptions, radiation protection files.).
- Performs, or checks the safety calculations needed for specific licensing files related to radiation protection, radioactive releases or radiological consequences.

**Additional Responsibilities**:

- Monitors the planning, execution and integration of activities in response to the requirements and commitments of the French regulatory bodies (Nuclear Safety Authority and Labor Inspector) related to radiation protection (including radiographic testing during construction activities, ALARA and maintenance)

**Please note that job descriptions cannot be exhaustive, and the staff member may be required to undertake other duties, which are broadly in line with the above primary responsibilities**

**Experience & Competencies**

**Essential**:

- **Proven experience** in a radiation protection role, preferably within nuclear facilities (design, commissioning, construction, radiography testing, operation)
- **Nuclear and Radiation Safety**: Radiation protection (knowledge of applicable regulations, knowledge or background in commissioning or operations of radiation protection components and systems for nuclear facilities, management of radiographic testing activities).
- **Performing calculations** in the domains of radiation protection, radioactive releases, radiological consequences.
- **Continuous Improvement**: proposing ch
