D. Summary of Work Experience I have 45 years of experience in industry and government primarily in the areas of thermal hydraulics, material corrosion, instrumentation and PWR steam generator testing and licensing. I have managed major international programs on steam generator performance during accidents involving various thermal transients. As a result of my work at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ("NRC") my position regarding the safety implication of steam generator tube degradation was adopted. Consequently, in 2001 the NRC launched a five-year major program on the effects of steam generator tube aging on core melt. This program is related to the 2002 reactor head failure at Davis-Besse. I have testified at great lengths before the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safety,

("ACRS") on steam generator tube degradation and related safety issues. In the last several years, I have consulted to law firms and citizen groups regarding steam generator issues.

I

I am the owner and CEO of a small Maryland company, Noverflo, Inc.. Noverflo is developing fiber optic sensors for the oil & gas, the transportation, and the environmental monitoring industries. In 2004 Noverflo has completed a three year program which was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The program produced a new system for automatic tank gauging. In 1994-1996 Noverflo has developed and commercialized a, shutoff valve for fuel tanks to comply with new EPA regulations.

I have funded and sponsored research and development work at the Engineering Department of the University of Virginia, which resulted in a novel method of measuring pipe wall thinning from erosion/corrosion I have published 14 papers in peer-reviewed technical journals in the areas of thermal-hydraulics, corrosion/ erosion, steam generator dose releases during accidents, steam explosions, sensors and ECM machining. I hold eight US patents and I am listed in the Engineers of Distinction published by the Engineers Joint Council and in American Men and Women in Science.
