About our unit Hardness Physics

We work with advanced reactor physics for both pressurized and boiling water reactors. Our mission is exciting and important, we:

• Develop the nuclear fuel design used in Vattenfall's reactors at Ringhals and Forsmark. This means that we create core designs and ensure that all safety checks are done before the annual reloads, in collaboration with safety experts. We also review new fuel designs to ensure they are both safe and efficient.
• Working with the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB), we make calculations for the safe transportation of spent nuclear fuel.
• Carries out radiation calculations for Ringhals and Forsmark, which is important to protect both personnel and the environment.
• Also performs calculations for different types of nuclear fuel, both new and existing, in order to always use the safest and most efficient fuel.

With our expertise and careful analysis, we help make Sweden's nuclear power plants both safer and more efficient. We work closely with our partners to develop innovative solutions and meet future challenges in nuclear power.

As a Computational Engineer you will work with

• Optimization of nuclear fuel and core design for Vattenfall's reactors
• Validation of calculation codes and models used to create safe and efficient core designs
• Development of methods and analyses in core physics and criticality calculations
