Richmond, Va, Us

Program lead for the Reactor Vessel Integrity Program (RVIP), responsible for vessel embrittlement analyses, supporting documentation including submittals to the USNRC, presented submittals for approval by applicable plant management, provided RAI responses to the NRC as required, evaluated vendor proposals and prepare POs, served as representative at vendor group (BWOG-RVWG) meetings, prepared implementing procedures for the RVIP implementation across the nuclear fleet. Efforts on Surry 1 vessel RAIs resolved impediment to license renewal, accomplishments resulted in promotion from engineer salary grade II to grade III.

As a project manager in Digital Transients group, led Core Analysis Department engineers in developing manuals that documented currently used analysis methods. Manuals were produced on schedule and below budget. As a startup engineer in the Yonggwang (AKA Hanbit) Units 3 and 4 project, supervised seven KAERI engineers in the preparation of the reactor test procedures and Startup Evaluation Reports, performed startup tests for the Yonggwang Units and coordinated support for resolution of problems encountered in testing. Provided safety analysis support in Sweden (obtained pertinent data, developed and tested the BISON software model) for the power uprate project for TVO units 1 and 2. Other safety analysis activity included CESEC reanalysis of Waterford 3 emergency feedwater system, reanalysis with new methodology avoided costly equipment replacement.
