• 

  Naval Nuclear Laboratory (BMPC)

  Dec 2003 - Jun 2014

  • Provided daily technical support to the US Navy’s operating submarine fleet. Responsibilities included resolving operations and maintenance related problems for static mechanical and rotating machinery in the reactor plant.• Coordinated and developed an emergent technical solution and implementation schedule for long-term operation of a nuclear power plant in an abnormal configuration. This effort involved coordination of technical, budgetary and project schedule solutions involving more than 15 Business Units across 4 sites.• Authored 6 Chapters of the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) provided to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a new US Naval nuclear training platform. The SAR provides detailed design, operations, maintenance strategy and emergency response information to the NRC which forms the basis for the US Navy’s license to operate the facility. Show less • Provided technical consultation and oversight for reactor plant maintenance and operations during complex maintenance availabilities for 2 nuclear-powered submarines and 3 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.• Independently represented BMPC across all levels of shipyard and Navy management while maintaining critical relationships with reactor plant design personnel, component procurement organizations and nuclear component vendors to provide prompt resolution of technical issues.• Coordinated emergent nuclear plant troubleshooting on submarines and aircraft carriers to ensure timely resolution of technical issues while maintaining project schedule and minimizing cost to the Navy. Show less • Responsible for performing complex modeling and analysis involving proprietary corrosion and margin to thermal limits predictions for a wide range of operational conditions over the life of a new US Naval reactor core design. Analysis results directly impacted hardware design, manufacturability, reactor safety, license to operate, approved operating parameters and maintenance lifecycle costs.• Lead a first of a kind effort to plan, coordinate and issue an initial thermal/hydraulic design basis for a new Naval reactor resulting in a 33% reduction in cost and schedule.• Performing technical work to a high level of quality while on schedule and under budget resulted in selection for multiple roles as lead engineer, such as corrosion and thermal analysis, Finite Element Analysis modeling and reactor core manufacturing development.
