OBJECTIVE

Seeking a position to apply my Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Safety background as a US citizen. My experience has given me the ability to provide engineering design, thermal hydraulics and system safety analysis support to determine steady and transient conditions for various system lineups and configurations as well as damage assessment and risk analysis of major events utilizing my advance computer skills. QUALIFICATIONS

Experienced in mechanical systems design, installation and commissioning that included:

Development of engineering drawings (blueprints, technical drawings and schematics) using computer assisted design (CAD) drafting software for water treatment and distribution systems and associated HVAC systems

Design computations using established mechanical engineering methods

Development of equipment specifications and datasheets for process mechanical equipment/systems, preparing equipment arrangements and piping systems

Research and evaluation of various concepts and phenomena underlying the design conditions

Supervising installation of the water treatment systems, commissioning and hand over to the owners and operators.

Experienced in nuclear safety analysis of complex systems that included:

Review of engineering design of complex systems (e.g., nuclear power plants) through engineering drawings, PSAR, thermal hydraulic analysis and systems description reports

Damage assessment using sophisticated analysis tools (e.g., Fire Dynamic Tools)

Evaluation of event probabilities using fault tree and event tree tools (e.g., CAFTA software)

Review of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and emergency operating procedures

(EOPs)

Risk analysis of major events using established Probabilistic Risk Analysis tools and methods.
