EXPERTISE AND SERVICES
Welding Engineer, Materials Engineer, Nuclear Power Steam Corrosion Engineering Consultant, Specialty Metal Products Quality Assurance Management Consultant, Component Corrosion Failure Consultant, Engineering Failure Analysis, Forensic Investigator, Analyst, Product Liability, Expert Witness Testimony, Engineering Consulting ServicesExpertise in weld supervision and training, assessing and documenting newly identified materials damage requiring possible weld repair, material related support including flow accelerated corrosion and turbine casing flange sealant use.
This KKAI associate developed and wrote preventative maintenance and inspection instructions for high voltage electricity power distribution components including circuit switchers, circuit breakers and ground switches. Specialization includes evaluation of failed SG tube and conditions leading to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC), related materials review and weld repair procedures.
Additional areas of specialty include power plant steam systems and plant model development, software testing and user training, coordination of the flow accelerated corrosion programs, damage/failure mechanisms, inspection/monitoring techniques, remedial procedures, and cost benefit analysis, steam generator (SG) tube corrosion and general materials engineering support.
Quality management experience has included inspection, QA, quality systems, quality improvement, chemical analysis, and customer service. Additional areas of related expertise include materials selection, heat treatment, welding, and other fabricating processes used in the fabrication of major and auxiliary components of Nuclear Steam Supply Systems (NSSSs).
As an engine fitter/mechanic, this KKAI consultant gained experience in building diesel engines, steam turbines, and pumps from the ground up. Diesel were up to 2000 HP, Turbines up to about 1000 HP, and were typically used for marine auxiliary power (sometimes propulsion on small vessels such as tug boats) or land based in pumping stations or sewage treatment facilities. In addition to assembly, work included operation, testing, development, and rebuilding. Work was mostly hands on but included some detail drawing and laboratory work

Technical Writer, Consolidated Edison (NY)
-
Developed and wrote preventative maintenance and inspection instructions for high voltage electricity power distribution components including circuit switchers, circuit breakers and ground switches. Set up prototype corporate safety web site. Project required the use of basis internet, web page editing and a familiarity of corporate documents and the ability to link to these documents via the corporate intranet.
Materials Engineer, Consolidated Edison Indian Point 2, NY
-
Performed Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)/Design Basis Document (DBD)/Technical Specification reconciliation using the IP2 CR process and prepared ICAs to update the DBDs for a variety of technical, materials, welding and corrosion issues. Provided on-site materials and engineering support to Indian Point 2 during the Steam Generator (SG) leaker outage. Work included evaluation of the failed SG tube and conditions leading to the development of Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) in the low row U bends, materials and welding support during SG replacement. Also reviewed industry CRDM nozzle PWSCC cracking experience and the possible implications to IP2 Vessel Head penetrations. Assisted in the development of a revised IP2 Welding Manual. Provided support to Indian Point 2 to evaluate wall thinning due to FAC found in the cross-under pipe and provided weld repair procedures to permit the plant to continue operating until the next scheduled outage. Provided support in the development and preparation the SG Program Manuals for Indian Point. Wrote several revision to the IP2 SG Program Manual to address NRC issues and maintain consistency with Nuclear Energy Institute industry commitment NEI 97-06.
Engineering Contractor, Electric Power Research Institute, Palo Alto, CA
-
Provided support to EPRI during the development of ChemWorks, a Pressurized Water Reactor secondary system chemistry modeling and analysis computer software tool. Project required an understanding power plant steam systems and included plant model development, software testing and user training.
Senior Engineer, Nuclear Power Group, Northeast Utilities
-
Responsibilities included Steam Generator (SG) Tube Corrosion and general materials engineering support to Northeast Utilities 4 operating nuclear plants. Responsibilities involved setting up, and overseeing sub vendor contracts to remove sample sections of degraded tubing for laboratory failure analysis to determine the cause(s) of corrosion degradation. Results and finding were presented at industry supported Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) SG corrosion workshops. Also provided metallurgical support during the development of a bimetallic Inconel 600/690 sleeve to be used to repair locally degraded SG tubes.
Quality Manager, Pfizer Corporation Specialty Metal Products, Wallingford, CT
-
Was responsible for total plant quality program including inspection, QA, quality systems, quality improvement, chemical analysis, and customer service. Initiated quality circles program and was responsible for quality circles representing all manufacturing functions. Developed a system for measuring and reporting out-of-specification product at all stages of manufacture that provided plant wide data as well as cost data. This data together with customer return cost was used to report monthly quality cost reports. Developed quality reporting system that emphasized dollars lost from mistakes at any operation rather that pounds of material rejected. As part of the Quality Improvement Program, provided periodic class room presentations on a plant wide basis to all levels of management, staff and hour employees on all 3 shifts.
