NUCLEAR INSPECTION

An open competition in the domain Nuclear Safeguards is being held to appoint nuclear inspectors (AST 4) for the DG ‘Energy’ and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission.

The mission of the DG ‘Energy’ in the field of Nuclear Safeguards is to ensure that the duties and obligations, pertaining to the non-diversion of nuclear materials, as these are described in Chapter VII of the EURATOM Treaty establishing the Euratom Safeguards System, are complied with.

The mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.

Nuclear inspectors are required to verify the correctness of declarations and reports of nuclear installation operators, perform physical verification of nuclear materials and draft reports on the findings. Under supervision of the hierarchy, they also ensure the relevant communication with operators, national stakeholders and international organisations. They may be further required to assist in the development, installation and maintenance of safeguards equipment.

The purpose of the competition is to draw up a reserve list to fill vacant posts in DG ‘Energy’ and in the Joint Research Centre's services working in the area of nuclear Safeguards and more particularly, in the Institute for Transuranium Elements in Karlsruhe (ITU), in the Institute for Energy (IE) in Petten, the Netherlands and at the Ispra Site Management (ISD) in Ispra, Italy.

1.   Duties

The duties of nuclear inspectors mainly involve:

| — | inspections in nuclear installations covering all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle (i.e. mining of fissile materials, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication, operation of nuclear reactors, reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, waste treatment and final repositories), with the aim of verifying the technical characteristics of these installations, the supporting documentation for the accountancy declarations that were submitted by the operator and whether such documentation corresponds to the physical reality. Verification includes performing of quantitative and qualitative measurements, taking of samples, as well as evaluation of the measurement data, video surveillance and seal data, |

Verification includes performing of quantitative and qualitative measurements, taking of samples, as well as evaluation of the measurement data, video surveillance and seal data,

| — | verification of the conformity and the consistency of the nuclear material accountancy declarations received from nuclear operators. This includes uploading of data into a computerised accountancy system, analysis of anomalies reported by the system and follow-up of such anomalies with the nuclear operators concerned, |

Different teams may be in charge of one or the other of the above listed duties. Although a candidate may be a specialist in one or the other group of tasks, having multidisciplinary skills across the above-mentioned areas can be an advantage. Nuclear inspectors are encouraged to move over the years from one team to another.

These activities are governed by the provisions of the Euratom Treaty and secondary legislation adopted under it, as well as by international agreements to which the European Atomic Energy Community is a party. They involve frequent missions and require access to controlled areas of nuclear installations. Given the often isolated location of nuclear installations, inspectors are required to have a driving license.

Nuclear inspectors are subject to security vetting.
