TITLE(s): NUCLEAR-CRITICALITY SAFETY ENGINEER (profess. & kin.)
Conducts research and analyzes and evaluates proposed and existing methods of transportation,
handling, and storage of nuclear fuel to preclude accidental nuclear reaction at nuclear facilities:
Reviews and evaluates fuel transfer and storage plans received from nuclear plants. Studies reports
of nuclear fuel characteristics to determine potential or inherent problems. Reads blueprints of
proposed storage facilities and visits storage sites to determine adequacy of storage plans.
Forecasts nuclear fuel criticality (point at which nuclear chain reaction becomes self-sustaining),
given various factors which may exist in fuel handling and storage, using knowledge of nuclear
physics, calculator, and computer terminal. Determines potential hazards and accident conditions
which may exist in fuel handling and storage and recommends preventive measures. Summarizes findings
and writes reports. Confers with project officials to resolve situations where hazard is beyond
acceptable levels. Prepares proposal reports for handling and storage of fuels to be submitted to
government review board. Studies existing procedures and recommends changes or additions to
guidelines and controls to ensure prevention of self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.
