About The Position

The Probabilistic Risk Assessment Associate Practitioner learns, maintains, and applies nuclear power plant probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models to support safe and cost-effective operation of the Callaway Energy Center. This is an active pipeline for a future opening. Key responsibilities include developing skills and knowledge to advise Nuclear Division personnel on issues related to PRA, participating in plant program groups that use risk insights, and developing skills to evaluate plant design and licensing changes to determine their quantitative impact on plant risk. The role also involves achieving qualifications related to independently performing PRA activities, learning, maintaining, and documenting Callaway PRA models, and assisting in performance of evaluations to determine the risk significance of plant events. As necessary, the role requires interaction with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, consultation with nuclear division personnel on matters of qualitative and quantitative nuclear safety, and learning and maintaining department procedures related to PRA. The position also includes assuming Emergency Response Organization (ERO) duties in accordance with the Callaway Energy Center Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP).
