6 months

Job Description:

Role Summary /

Purpose:

Detailed Scope of Work:

The Lab Analyst is responsible for carrying out testing and analytical functions including reagent preparation, sample analyses, instrument calibration and troubleshooting, result calculations, data management, and operation of instrumentation. These activities are performed within a laboratory that operates in support of a nuclear fuel production facility. This position involves the analysis of uranium and other materials used in fuel production. This individual is expected to work 7am-3pm on weekdays.

Essential Responsibilities:

The Lab Analyst must certify for each assigned job function and will be responsible for routinely performing analyses in any or all the specific areas identified below: Mass Spectrometric Analyses

• Determine the isotopic contents of nuclear materials, and the elements in various materials and samples using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). Wet Chemistry Analyses
• Determine the chemical composition and impurities in nuclear materials and other samples using Wet Chemistry methods (titrimetric, gravimetric, colorimetric, chromatographic, etc.) Environmental Analyses
• Perform a variety of analyses to assure compliance with regulatory standards regarding employee safety and environmental protection. Metallurgical Analyses
• Assess material properties through metallography, mechanical, and corrosion testing.

Precision grinding, polishing, and microscopy reveal microstructures, including grain size, porosity, and bonding. Mechanical testing evaluates strength, hardness, and ductility using tensile, bend, and compression tests. Corrosion testing examines material resistance under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, requiring chemical preparation and precise measurements. The Lab Analyst must be able to perform routine laboratory duties within radioactive material
