This newbuild will enable the Netherlands to continue to help millions of people and even save lives for the next 50 years. The isotopes are used for diagnoses and treatment of 30.000 patients a day worldwide, that suffer from life-threatening diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions. And by carrying out various nuclear (technological) research programs, the PALLAS-reactor will also contribute to the development of safe and climate neutral energy supply.
The eight members of Our Safety Demonstration team are responsible for a suitable safety demonstration of the PALLAS reactor, with the main goal of obtaining the license to commission and operate the PALLAS reactor. Within this driven, international and diverse team we now have a vacancy for a Senior Nuclear Safety and PSA Engineer, who's willing to contribute to PALLAS acting as an Intelligent Customer and becoming an Intelligent Owner and Operator of one of the worlds leading nuclear production and research reactor.
