REA has supported the design and analysis of PWRs since the early days of the commercial nuclear power industry. Its scope has expanded from the Westinghouse fleet to include the Combustion Engineering PWR fleet, the BWR fleet, and several advanced reactor designs such as the Westinghouse AP1000 plant, AP300TM small modular reactor, and eVinciTM microreactor. Our market is global with customers in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, covering the operating fleet, decommissioning, and new build. To meet this demand, our staff is also global with engineers in the U.S., Spain, Germany, and India.The primary responsibilities for this role include:

Neutron transport calculations in and around the reactor vessel

Review plant drawings and build transport models

Perform fluence, activation, heating rate, and dosimetry calculations

Critically analyze results & produce technical documentation

Radiation source term calculations

Post-irradiation compositions using ORIGEN, coolant activity, etc.

Support for the Decontamination & Decommissioning (D&D) of retiring plants

Radiation shielding, decay heat, and nuclear criticality analyses

Operating Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) support:

Accident evaluation in compliance with Chapter 15 of NUREG-0800, related NRC Regulatory guides and Spanish Licensing requirements.

Set-point calculations for liquid and gaseous effluents monitorsWe use many state-of-the-art codes that were developed in-house including RAPTOR-M3G, our latest 3D discrete-ordinates tool.
