See-Thru Model Nuclear Reactor (Funded by the NRC)ResponsibilitiesDesign, machine shop fabrication, assembly, and purchasing of a working rankine cycle power plant.AccomplishmentsDuring my employment I participated in the construction of a see-thru model nuclear reactor running on a Rankine power cycle powered by electric heaters. A link to the news story is in the Links section.Skills UsedDuring my employment I interfaced with parts suppliers, designed parts, fabricated parts from blueprints with tolerances from varying stock materials including stainless steel, and most importantly how to adapt to deadlines and unforeseen problems.
