Intern Technology Monitoring – Generation IV Reactor Systems (f/m/d)

Über den Job

Place: Baden | Workload: 100% | Start: start immediately or upon agreement | Duration: 6 months

This internship gives you the chance to work in a substantive, complex project environment alongside a specialist team, exploring the technologies that could shape the future of nuclear energy.

What you will do:

Conduct a structured literature review on Gen IV reactor systems, covering technology concepts, safety approaches, fuel cycles, and international development status

Analyse selected Gen IV technologies and designs in terms of Technology Readiness Level, deploy-ability, safety and licensing feasibility, fuel and waste aspects, and supply chain

Develop a technology and design-based dashboard that enables systematic comparison of Gen IV technologies across key assessment criteria

Document data sources, assumptions, and uncertainties in a transparent and traceable way

Present interim results to the project team and integrate feedback from internal and external experts

What you bring & who you are:

Ongoing or recently completed studies in nuclear engineering, physics, energy engineering, or a closely related technical field

Knowledge of nuclear engineering fundamentals, including reactor physics, thermohydraulics, nuclear materials, fuel cycle, and safety principles

Ideally some initial knowledge of Gen IV reactor systems (e.g. sodium-cooled fast reactors, gas-cooled fast reactors, molten salt reactors, lead-cooled reactors, supercritical water reactors) – or a strong interest and willingness to build this up quickly

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to structure complex technical topics and synthesise information from diverse sources

A precise, detail-oriented way of working, especially when it comes to documentation, referencing, and data handling

Good English skills, written and spoken; German is a plus but not required

You enjoy working independently and proactively, while collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team.

About the team:

You will work closely with experienced experts from nuclear engineering, strategy, and regulatory affairs on a clearly defined assignment with tangible outputs, in a professional and supportive environment at Axpo's headquarters
