Experience
Tennessee Valley Authority (Contractor, TVA Retiree)
Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Spring City, TN
May 2, 2011 - August 22, 2012
Re-entered the work force in a contractor's capacity. Current
responsibilities are titled, "Major Milestone Manager" and "Systems
Completion Manager". I have been assigned the duties of oversight for the
completion of the Condensate System, Heater/Drains and Vents, Main
Feedwater, and Auxiliary Feedwater Systems in support of Major Milestones
including:
> Flood Up of the Main Condenser
> Establishing Short Cycle for Condensate
> Establishing Modified Long Cycle for Condensate and Feedwater
> Establishing Long Cycle for Condensate and Feedwater
> Initial operation of the Main Feedpump turbines
> Placing the Main Turbine on Turning Gear
TVA's strategy for completion of U2 was modified from a system turnover
priority to an Area Completion focus. I was given responsibility for
completion of the Turbine Building and associated systems. The major
systems are:
> Condensate and Feedwater
> Main Steam
> Steam Generator Blowdown
> Heaters Drains and Vents
> Extraction Steam
> Raw Cooling Water
Along with the major systems, I was also accountable for the multitude of
support systems such as Turbine Lube Oil and Secondary Chemistry.
Though assigned to Construction, through Bechtel Power Corporation, my
duties place me in the role of liaison between Construction, Start-Up and
Operations.
Tennessee Valley Authority (Retired May 2009)
Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Spring City, TN
Sept. 1995 - May 2009
Joined TVA, Watts Bar Nuclear Team as the Instrumentation Manager. Led the
Instrument Department through start-up, operation, and re-fueling outages
until approximately 2003 at which time I was loaned to the Institute of
Nuclear Power (INPO) in Atlanta GA. I trained and qualified as a Senior
Maintenance Inspector and spent approximately thirteen months evaluating 9
nuclear plants up and down the east coast. After this tour of duty I
returned to Watts Bar as the Instrument Maintenance Manager. My duties now
were expanded to acting Maintenance Manager, Department Analyst, Department
Training Coordinator, and oversight of the plant Measuring and Test
Equipment Department. In 2008 I was promoted to Maintenance Support
Manager responsible for analyzing department data on a quarterly basis,
oversight of multiple training comities, and oversight of the Maintenance
Procedure Writers, Maintenance Work Planners, Maintenance Engineers, and
Maintenance Training Coordinators, (including Mechanical, Electrical,
Instrumentation, Planners, and Maintenance Supervisors). Retrofits,
upgrades, and obsolescence challenges were additional duties primarily due
to the upcoming restart of Watts Bar Unit 2.
Georgia Power Southern Nuclear Company

Oct. 1979-Sept. 1995
I was the first Instrument Technician on the site and initially maintained
5 Combustion Turbines and a Diesel Generator utilized for peak load while
also beginning the initial calibration of instrumentation prior to
installation. I progressed from Sr. Instrument Technician to Instrument

Managed the Instrument Department during the start-up of Unit 1 and Unit 2.
Staffing levels ranged from 60 permanent employees to as many as 200
including temporary contractor support for the start-up of the Units.
Responsibilities included establishing department procedures, developing
and managing the department budget, managing the Instrument Supervisors,
Foremen, and Technicians, development and oversight of the Measuring and
Test Equipment for the plant, daily interface with the Control Room Staff
for determining priorities and protection of the grid. Additional
responsibilities also included participation on several review boards for
the purpose of validating accuracy of commitments in the Final Safety
