Commercial Nuclear Safety Experience

· Engineering review team leader at Brunswick, a Watch List BWR with 150 backlogged projects, documenting and prioritizing $250 million in projects, resulting in fastest commercial nuclear power plant recovery.

· NRC Region 3 support contractor 1998 to 2000 to assess DC Cook engineering issues and safety systems related to the plant’s extended shutdown and recovery; four team inspections (NRC Team Leader was Marty Farber).

· Team Member for 12 operational and technical design inspections at commercial nuclear power plants. Served as lead in the different teams to cover operations, maintenance, engineering, and training.

· Participant in the development of the new risk-informed, performance based NRC Regulatory Oversight Process. (see http://Technidigm.org/Technuke/nuclear.htm)

· Designed, developed, and implemented as technical lead the NRC Headquarters (Materials) steam generator eddy current inspection report and regulatory oversight support database for 76 pressurized water reactors (PWR), 1996-1997. Assessed and standardized diverse tube inspection results, summarizing 1600 inspection documents in a master relational database.

· Technical Lead and primary evaluator to assess Safe Shutdown Fire Protection (Appendix R) responses for all US nuclear power plants, an 18 month DC Cook litigation project for Shaw Pittman.
