Lead the qualification and performance assessment of fuel cladding materials for advanced nuclear reactors, defining corrosion‑protective layers, irradiation effects, and design limits.
Salary range is flexible based on candidate profile, our band is from 57 000 - 75 000 sek/monthly.
- Own the technical basis for the cladding material and its corrosion‑protective layer, from specification through qualification.
- Assess and test fuel‑cladding chemical interaction with uranium fuel, including carbon and nitrogen transport.
- Assist with the irradiation programme to ensure all needed data is gathered and interpret post‑irradiation examination data on hardening, embrittlement, swelling, irradiation creep and helium effects.
- Turn test results into design limits and lifetime models, together with the core design and fuel teams.
- Map nuclear codes and standards, such as ASME Section III Division 5, onto cladding qualification, and contribute to the safety case for licensing with SSM and NRC.
- Master’s degree or PhD in materials science, nuclear engineering or a related field
- Nice to have: various fuel systems
- Nice to have: liquid metal corrosion
- Nice to have: liquid metal embrittlement
- Nice to have: ferritic FeCrAl or oxide‑dispersion‑strengthened steels
