Deep Fission is an advanced nuclear energy company developing a novel deployment architecture called Gravity™ that integrates established technologies — pressurized water reactors, geothermal energy-transfer components, and deep borehole drilling — to place reactor systems a mile underground. The design uses hydrostatic pressure from a deep water column to support operating pressure and cooling, applies geothermal-style surface energy transfer to turbines, and aims for rapid, low-footprint deployments (a stated 6-month target for a single reactor deployment and a 2027–2028 commercial operation goal). The company reports an 18. 5 GW commercial pipeline via letters of intent with power-site partners, has moved prototype hardware (reactor canister) to a Kansas site, and is engaging with regulators and investors through public filings and offerings.

📋 Description

• Lead interpretation and application of NRC emergency preparedness regulations (10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 52, 10 CFR Part 100, and related guidance such as NUREG-0654 and RG 1.219). • Develop and document emergency planning strategies, including EPZ sizing, protective action recommendations, and emergency classification schemes. • Translate accident analysis, source term, and consequence modeling results into licensing-ready emergency preparedness justifications. • Collaborate with safety analysis, PRA, and systems engineering teams to ensure alignment between design basis accidents, severe accident analysis, and EP assumptions. • Support development of licensing deliverables including Safety Analysis Reports (SAR), Emergency Plan documents, and topical reports. • Lead or support interactions with the NRC on emergency preparedness topics, including pre-application engagements, audits, RAIs, and public meetings. • Evaluate and implement risk-informed, performance-based approaches to emergency planning for advanced reactors. • Coordinate inputs from multidisciplinary teams and external partners (e.g., emergency response organizations, consultants). • Support integration of EP requirements into overall licensing strategy and project execution plans. • Maintain awareness of evolving NRC policy and guidance for advanced reactor emergency preparedness and proactively adapt strategies.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in nuclear licensing, emergency preparedness, safety analysis, or related field. • Direct experience with NRC emergency preparedness requirements and licensing processes. • Strong understanding of accident analysis, radiological consequence assessment, and source term evaluation. • Experience developing or supporting Emergency Plans, EPZ analyses, or related licensing documentation. • Familiarity with NRC regulatory frameworks including 10 CFR Parts 50 and/or 52. • Ability to translate technical safety analysis into regulatory and licensing arguments. • Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering, Health Physics, Systems Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience). • Strong technical writing and communication skills. • U.S. citizenship required; must meet export control requirements under 10 CFR 810.
