Neutron Fluence Analyst Intern - Summer 2027

The intern will leverage results of stochastic neutronics modeling at the Advanced Test Reactor to correlate tallied neutron fluence in the beryllium neutron reflector with observed age-related effects such as cracking. The result will be to better characterize aging in reflector regions, especially in locations not possible to inspect. Observed aging effects from past inspections will be available as benchmarks. 

This team works a 4x10 schedule onsite at our Advance Test Reactor campus. Start date and duration of internship vary based on project and student availability. You may be eligible for course credit for this internship.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Enrolled full-time in an Undergraduate or Graduate Degree Program at an ABET accredited college/university studying Computer Science, Nuclear Engineering or closely related STEM degree
• A minimum overall 3.0 GPA
• Authorization to work in the U.S. (including CPT and OPT)
• Current Resume or CV
• Unofficial Transcripts (include current and completed degree programs)
• Current class schedule and number of credits

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Java).
• Foundational understanding of nuclear science concepts, including neutron flux, fluence, and scattering.
• Familiarity with materials science principles, including radiation-induced embrittlement.

Compensation:

• Undergraduate Internships ($26.94/hour - $32.41/hour)
