Help Us Prove a New Standard in Nuclear Fuel Are you a technically sharp, self-driven engineer or scientist who understands how nuclear fuel really behaves - and how to prove it with credible models? Join Blykalla and lead the fuel development and qualification effort that underpins the use of a novel nuclear fuel in an advanced reactor. This role puts you at the center of predicting, validating, and defending fuel behaviour for the western world’s first lead-cooled SMR. You’ll own the delivery of the fuel qualification programme, and strongly influence the development of models and codes that allow for producing regulator-ready evidence to understand our fuel performance. What we do at Blykalla At Blykallawe are developing the next generation of nuclear technology with our Advanced Small Modular Reactor (SMR), based on uranium nitride fuel and a compact, lead-cooled design. As Sweden’s only SMR developer, we are on a mission to decarbonize heavy industry and other energy-intensive sectors and deliver safe, scalable, and sustainable energy. What you’ll get to do Your mission is to ensure that we can predict, explain and justify fuel behaviour with confidence, using validated models, defensible assumptions and traceable data. Build & evolve fuel performance models ● Take ownership of the development, extension, and adaption of fuel performance models for a lead-cooled fast-spectrum operation, with a focus on physical mechanisms rather than black-box use. ● Lead the benchmarking of models against multiple fuel types (including nitride, oxide and metallic fuels) and fuel performance codes, to support comparison, validation, and fallback options. ● Understand and improve model behaviour by analysing why models work, where they break down, and what must be changed for le…
