OBJECTIVE To provide and implement 21st century nuclear measurement techniques and
applications.
EXPERIENCE I have between nine and ten years combined experience working with nuclear
SUMMARY materials, safety analysis, ORR preparation, health physics, NDA, NMC&A, fuel
manufacturing, maintaining, operating, and calibrating nuclear measurement
systems. My D&D and radiological cleanup experience involves the
decommissioning of a gaseous diffusion enrichment facility, a high enriched fuel
manufacturing facility, high enriched scrap recovery facility, naval fuel
development facility, plutonium MOX manufacturing facility, and excavating a
radiological burial ground. I am familiar with equipment used to assay and
measure a large variety of process equipment and debris. I have over eight
years experience performing NDA. I have often measured tanks, valves, pipes,
filters, ventilation duct, and other types of process equipment using gamma
spectrometers and neutron counters. At NFS I maintained the process holdup
program over the naval fuel manufacturing facility and down blending facility. It
was not uncommon for me to write standard operating procedures, monitor and
maintain calibration data through the use of statistics, perform standard integrity
checks, fabricate standards, perform technician and instrument operator
training, maintain routine instrument calibrations, and review technical data for
other NDA Specialist. I was actively involved in the design, construction and
procurement of custom nuclear measurement systems. I also set up data bases
for archiving measurement data, routinely interface with regulators and auditors,
and maintain required license routine scans. Every inventory period I was
responsible for calculating the total process holdup U 235 value for all high
enriched process areas and present this data to the Nuclear Materials Manager.
At the ETTP site I used sodium iodide detectors and SNAP neutron counters to
measure and verify U 235 holdup quantities in process pipe and equipment. I
would provide technical and operational guidance to scanning teams in the field.
I overseen operators performing ISOCS and neutron measurements and was
the lead engineer over one of the NDA shop areas. I measured large
components using ISOCS and slab neutron detectors. In my current position I
advise the NMC&A department on measurement control issues, accountability
measurement system qualification, holdup measurements, solution
measurements, special project and difficult measurements, advise on the
fabrication of standards, oversee and ensure accountability measurement
systems performance meet accountability requirements, perform in situ gamma
spectrometry using a trans SPEC portable HPGE, and serve as senior technical
support in the Technical and Measurements Support Group.
