Role Summary/Purpose

The Mechanical Analysis Engineer is responsible for performing analyses on the reactor vessel, internals and components. Typical evaluations may include stress analyses, fracture, thermal and dynamic load evaluations, and vibrational responses to ensure performance consistent with applicable codes and regulatory requirements. The Mechanical Analysis team has strong interfaces with hardware design, civil/containment, core design, and core/plant operations.

Essential Responsibilities

The Mechanical Analysis Engineer is responsible for the delivery of high-quality engineering analyses.  This role requires technical problem solving, strong analytical competency and effective communication/collaboration with other teams within the GEH and GNF business functions.  Work scope typically includes the following essential responsibilities:

·  Develop creative solutions and reduce analysis complexity to create accurate and effective solutions for complex engineering problems.  
o    Analyze primary plant structures to develop loads and response characteristics.
o    Confirm Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) or Reactor Internals components meet structural stress and fatigue criteria.
o    Qualify RPV or Reactor Internals repairs or replacement components considering static, dynamic, thermal, and flow-induced loads.

·  Translate design information into detailed finite element models of BWR primary structures and equipment using Finite Element methods and GE in-house computer codes.
