Job description

Summer 2027 Internship - Licensing & Regulatory

Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world's first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors. The company's first reactor, Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt, fail-safe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to 5 years without refueling. Portable nuclear power with rapid-deploy capability can replace similar-sized diesel generators and provide critical asset support for hospitals, data centers, remote sites, and military bases. Radiant's unique, practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe, factory-built microreactors that use existing, well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020, Radiant is on track to test its first reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory this summer, with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.

Radiant is seeking a highly motivated Licensing & Regulatory Intern to join the team.

Responsibilities:

• Own end to end licensing execution efforts required to fulfill an application deliverable, ranging from detailed safety analysis to a physical protection plan.

• Oversee execution by technical teams including design reviews and regulatory and quality documentation; organize their inputs into data products and reports; raise regulatory concerns and see through timely and successful resolution.

• Proactively review approaches and decisions as they relate to regulatory efforts to ensure adherence to Radiant's novel and efficient licensing paths.

• Ensure completeness, timeliness, and quality of licensing and regulatory submissions.

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Communications, or related discipline.

• Excellent verbal and written communication and negotiation abilities; ability to navigate regulatory conversations effectively and write technical documentation.

• Applied understanding of requirement derivation, negotiation and verification or experience with the product design process especially as it relates to defining systems, interfaces and specifications.
