About this role

Are you motivated to provide your expertise and know-how to the ongoing design studies for the Thorizon One reactor to ensure a high level of safety and security, and to play your part in obtaining the authorisations required for the construction, commissioning and operating phases of the reactor? You will be involved in the missions of the Licensing & Safety team. You will provide licensing support to the PIONEER nuclear demonstrator project in the Netherlands.

You will support the development of licensing documents and support regulatory audits and engagements. You will work in close relationship with experts from NRG Pallas, which will be designated to operate PIONEER. You will be in close consultation with Thorizon’s design and engineering staff and will ensure that licensing documents are created in accordance with the guidance of NRG Pallas, following the Thorizon’s licensing strategy.

You will provide support for engagements with the Dutch nuclear regulator (ANVS), and other regulatory bodies involved such as FANC and ASNR, including pre-application meetings, preparing and reviewing permit and license applications, preparing and reviewing topical reports, and responding to ANVS audit questions and requests for additional information. You will also provide licensing and strategic support to the development of the commercial reactor.

In this environment, which combines both compliance with regulatory requirements and the development of an innovative reactor, you get the unique opportunity to put your knowledge to the best use, develop your ideas, explore many aspects and play a crucial role in the company's growth. Contribute to the development of an ambitious and robust licensing strategy for the nuclear demonstrator and the commercial reactor, mitigating regulatory risks.

Contribute to draft, author, and review licensing documents including sections of the applications for construction and operation (e.g., PSAR/FSAR and Environmental Report). Coordinate with project stakeholders (Thorizon and NRG Pallas) to prepare responses to ANVS audit questions and requests for additional information. Coordinate with the Thorizon’s design team to ensure designs and design changes meet regulatory requirements.
