ENT000033 Submitted: March 28, 2012 RESUME Jeffrey S. Horowitz, ScD 3331 Avenida Sierra Escondido, California 92029 (760)-747-8714 - home (760)-747-1397 - office JSHorowitz@aol.com PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 1985 - Present Independent consultant working in the nuclear and mechanical engineering fields. Consultant to EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) on single and two-phase flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) also known as erosion-corrosion, cavitation, thermal-hydraulic analyses, void fraction correlation and service water corrosion.
Principal creator of CHEC, CHECMATE and CHECWORKS, the computer programs which predict single-phase and two-phase flow-accelerated corrosion. CHECWORKS is currently used to improve maintenance efficiency and enhance safety in more than 150 nuclear units worldwide.
Consultant to the CANDU Owners Group, Entergy Nuclear, Exelon Corporation, Ontario Power Generation, Inc., Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison on issues of FAC and nuclear safety.
Co-author of three books and 17 published EPRI reports. Sole author of 23 published EPRI reports.

Managed substantial portions of the Industrial Co-generation, Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)
Programs at the Chicago Operations Office. The annual value of the work I managed was about $10 million.
Promoted from GS-13 to GS-14.
1977 - 1980 Mechanical Engineer, Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, Illinois 60439, 630-252-2000. Dr. Norman Sather, supervisor:
Government Technical Manager on several, multi-million dollar OTEC power systems studies and heat exchanger construction programs.
Conducted design studies, computer modeling and laboratory testing on a metal-hydride heat pump system.
Promoted from Assistant Mechanical Engineer to Mechanical Engineer.
1973 - 1977 Principal Engineer, Combustion Engineering, 1000 Prospect Hill Road, Windsor, CT 06095, 860-688-1911, Dr. Hector Guerrero, supervisor:
Lead engineer on a series of nuclear safety experiments including tests on an alternate emergency core cooling system, steam generator depressurization, re-flood heat transfer and an innovative primary system flow meter.
1972 - 1973 Nuclear Engineer, Quadrex Corporation, 477 Division Street, Campbell, California, (company now defunct), Randolph Broman, supervisor:
Conducted various nuclear safety analyses.
Wrote and modified computer programs (e.g., RELAP and CONTEMPT) related to nuclear safety. The areas of focus included boiling water reactor loss of coolant accident analysis, pipe rupture loads and effects, building pressurization and hydraulic loads resulting from valve closure.
