Chemical Engineer
Employee will be part of an R&D team conducting use-inspired research that focuses on developing innovative pyrochemical technologies for the treatment of used nuclear fuel with the goal of recovering actinides for use in advanced reactors and isolating the fission products for encapsulation in durable waste forms. Specific tasks will include developing advanced used nuclear fuel treatment concepts and flowsheets; design, fabrication, and evaluation of electrochemical systems for recovering actinides from complex molten salt systems; elucidating the process chemistry associated with electrochemical separation systems; and developing computer models that describe the separations process. In addition to the chemical separation research activities, the employee may be called upon to participate in research focused on determining the thermophysical properties of molten salts proposed for use in advanced nuclear reactor or chemical separation systems.
