SUMMARY:

Highly motivated individual with over 4 years of progressive training and experience in nuclear

power plant operations and maintenance. Completed tour of service as a Navy nuclear qualified

Electrician's Mate. Qualified as Load Dispatcher, Propulsion Electrician, Shutdown Reactor

Operator, Work Center Supervisor, and Turbine Generator Watch. Prospective date of

availability: Now

WORK EXPERIENCE:

Nuclear Electrician's Mate stationed on the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).

Worked in the Reactor Department, in the Reactor Electrical division (#2 Propulsion Plant):

Qualified by virtue of examinations, oral boards, and written testing as a reactor electrical operator

whose responsibilities include performing electric plant shifts, maintenance and repairs of an A4W

Nimitz class nuclear power plant. Performed maintenance on 4160v, 450v, and 120v load centers

and systems. Individually supervised, trained and mentored over 15 apprentices in qualifying their

prospective watch stations resulting in a score of Excellence on Operational Reactor Safeguard

Examination 2009 (a perfect score).

QUALIFIED WATCHES:

Load Dispatcher: Highest enlisted watch in the Navy. Responsible for all electricity on the ship

including all load centers, breakers, and emergency diesel generators. Directed switchgear

operators in electric plant shifts. Announced causalities to the ship and placed the electric plant in

a safe condition without and supervision.

Shutdown Reactor Operator: In charge of an individual plant while the Propulsion Plant

Watch Officer is gone. Maintained the reactor shutdown, and kept plant temperatures and

pressure within specific bands by cycling heaters, and spray flow.

Switchgear Operator: Physically shifted the electric plant. Electrically lit off turbine generators.

Made parallels between shore power, turbine generators, and emergency diesel generators.

Responded to electrical casualties and maintained electrical isolation's by reading electrical

schematics.

Propulsion Electrician: Took logs on all electrical equipment. Noted trends with temperatures

and abnormalities. Performed basic electrical maintenance such as manual bus transfers and

salinity cell cleanings. Wrote, and hung tags for electrical isolation's by reading electrical

schematics.

Turbine Generator Watch: Started up and secured turbine generators mechanically for ships

power. Maintained the proper temperatures, vacuum, and other parameters on the generators

while running.

Feed Control Watch: Maintained the required levels of feed water in a plants steam

generators. Performed titration tests on different plant waters. Directly responsible for

monitoring the equipment associated with the plants steam and feed flow. Maintained the proper

temperatures, vacuum, and other parameters on equipment associated with the steam generating

systems.

Work Center Supervisor: Responsible for troubleshooting and repairing turbine generators, AC

and DC motors, motor controllers, switchboards, 60 Hz and 400 Hz motor generators, lighting

systems, indicating systems, transformers, circuit breakers, bus transfer devices, voltage

regulators, electrical components of hydraulic and mechanical power units, and electrical

monitoring equipment. Generated detailed troubleshooting guides and repair procedures, initiate

work quality inspections, and created work process improvement procedures.

Additional qualifications include proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, Publisher

and Outlook. Proficiency in fire fighting and damage control.

EDUCATION:

Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program; Charleston, SC

Nuclear Field "A" School (Electrician's Mate): an intensive 6 month classroom and laboratory

apprenticeship in the basic operation of a steam powered propulsion plant. Topics included general

hand tools, principles of maintenance, electrical theory, mechanical physics, heat transfer, industrial

safety and quality control maintenance.

Nuclear Power School: a highly competitive 6 month classroom instruction on the safe operation,

maintenance and design of pressurized water cooled nuclear reactors (equivalent to over 750

college hours). Involves a rigorous training pipeline which includes principles of nuclear physics,

thermodynamics, engineering chemistry and radiation protection fundamentals; candidates include

only the top 10% of the US Navy.

Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit: a 6 month hands-on application of the principles learned in

Naval Nuclear Power School on a active nuclear power plant. Training includes qualifying to

physically operate turbine generators, pumps and power plant maintenance prior to assignment to

a nuclear submarine or Nimitz class aircraft carrier.
