Application Deadline:16 April 2013
Type/Duration of Appointment:Fixed term, 3 years (subject to a probationary period of 1 year)

Organizational Setting

The objective of the Department of Nuclear Energy is to foster the efficient and safe use of nuclear power by supporting interested Member States in improving the performance of nuclear power plants, the nuclear fuel cycle, and the management of nuclear wastes; in catalysing innovation in nuclear power and fuel cycle technologies; in developing indigenous capabilities for national energy planning; in deploying new nuclear power plants; in preserving and disseminating nuclear information and knowledge; and in advancing science and industry through improved operation of research reactors.

The Division of Nuclear Power comprises the Nuclear Power Engineering Section, the Nuclear Power Technology Development Section, the Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Group and the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycle Group. The Division provides core engineering, technological, human resource development and management support to interested Member States in the field of nuclear power.

The Nuclear Power Technology Development Section assists Member States in developing safe, environmentally benign, economically viable, proliferation-resistant and sustainable, innovative solutions for all civil reactor technologies, including water cooled reactors, gas cooled reactors, fast neutron systems (both critical and subcritical) as well as small and medium-sized reactors. The Section fosters international collaboration on technology development for reactor plants and for non-electric uses of nuclear power by facilitating coordinated research projects, technical meetings, and training courses. The Section also maintains the Advanced Reactors Information System and the Thermo-Physical Materials Properties Database.
