About the role
- Provide independent reviews and acceptance reviews of engineering deliverables and data.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement methodologies to qualify and characterize materials, especially metallic alloys, graphite, composites, and welding materials for nuclear reactor applications including in high temperature environments.
- Support selection of appropriate materials, test methods, codes and standards, and prepare material specifications for component procurement.
- Perform and assist metallurgical analysis for the alloys selected for metallic systems, structures, and components of X-energy developed reactors, including pressure vessels and piping, reactor internals, heat exchangers, and other systems and components.
- Collect and use data to support the generation of constitutive material models and perform and assist structural integrity, creep-fatigue, and strain evaluations for metals at high temperatures.
- Perform and assist material degradation analysis for graphite and composite components of X-energy developed reactors, including graphite core assemblies, and assessment of as-manufactured, irradiated, and oxidized data.
- Collect and use data to support the generation of constitutive material models / analytical tools and perform and assist structural integrity, cracking, dimensional change, and stress/deformation evaluations for irradiated graphite.
- Perform system-level and component-level analyses to support impurity inventory calculation and assessment of oxidation, corrosion, and associated material property evolution for these and other relevant degradation mechanisms through the life of the reactor.
- Collect and use data to support the generation of models / analytical tools and perform and assist oxidation, corrosion, particulate, and impurity inventory management evaluations for systems and components.
