Stoughton, Ma

Safety analysis engineering support for Nuclear facilities, Millstone 3 and Comanche Peak 1 & 2. Significant use of thermal hydraulic codes THREED, COMPARE, RELAP for analysis of Loss Of Coolant Accidents (LOCAs) and High Energy Line Breaks (HELBs) for subcompartment pressure and temperature transient analysis. Containment flooding levels, sump and spray pH, NPSH of safety related components, and spray coverage also a primary focus of duties. Originator and checker/reviewer of calculations for these projects. Reviewed and updated licensing documentation in the aforementioned systems. Documentation and qualification of proprietary Shaw Stone & Webster thermal hydraulic computer codes including CORHYD, DKHEAT, FULPOL, LOCTIC, PARSLY, REFLO, SWNAUA, TAPA, and THREED.

Indian Point Energy Center, Buchanan, Ny

Responsibilities included safety analysis calculations of Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCA) and Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) using the Generation of Thermal Hydraulic data for Containments (GOTHIC) computer Code. Also performed benchmarks of past plant transients and control room simulator transients using the RETRAN3D computer code.
