Health Physicist
This position may be filled in either Medical and Licensing Assistance Branch; Commercial, Industrial, R&D and Academic Branch; or Decommissioning, ISFSI and Reactor HP Branch. The successful candidate will perform the full range of radiological and environmental protection licensing activities and serve as an inspector to plan, conduct, report and integrate findings associated with radiation protection inspections of active and/or decommissioning light-water reactor facilities, medical facilities, materials facilities using byproduct, source and/or special nuclear materials and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSI). Such duties include, but are not limited to:
Review license applications for all uses of byproduct, source and special nuclear material other than nuclear power production. Perform routine and complex inspections of operating and/or decommissioning reactor facilities, including ISFSI to observe and assure conformance to NRC rules and regulations. Perform routine planned and reactive inspections of materials licensees to ascertain conformity with design and other criteria, evaluate the adequacy of licensee controls and provisions for radiological and environmental safety. Recommend enforcement action with regional management approval when inspection findings indicate a significant violation of the license or NRC rules and regulations Prepare inspection reports to document whether the facility is being operated safely, the licensee's management control program is effective, and regulatory requirements are being met. In addition to the basic education requirements, to qualify for this position you must have at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE is defined as:
experience that demonstrates specific knowledge in and recent experience with programs that require work with radiological safety programs associated with the use of byproduct, source or special nuclear materials, in areas of medical, industrial, academic and/or decommissioning (material use or reactor operations). You should also have recent experience associated with a regulatory program focused on safety and the ability to present technical information orally and in writing. A description of how you possess the specialized experience as well as how you meet the qualifications desired in an ideal candidate should be included in your resume.

To meet the level of experience for the GG-12 level, one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GG-11 level. To meet the level of experience for the GG-13 level, one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GG-12 level. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. Knowledge of the principles, theories and practices in the field of health physics and radiation safety, and in the implementation of programs associated with the use of byproduct, source or special nuclear materials in the areas of medical, industrial, academic, decommissioning (material use or reactor operations), or Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSIs).2. Demonstrated ability to perform evaluation and analysis of radiological health hazards, or remediation of either byproduct, source or special nuclear material.3. Demonstrated knowledge of NRC rules and regulations related to the radiation protection aspects in the licensing and inspection of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials.4. Demonstrated ability to present technical information both orally and in writing.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
