Resume: Robert M. Aleksick Professional Highlights 3/4 President of CSI Technologies, a technology firm that provides software and consulting to the nuclear electric power generation industry worldwide 3/4 Published, nationally recognized expert in Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) 3/4 Over twenty years of engineering and project management experience in the nuclear industry, specializing in Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) and Buried/Underground Piping issues 3/4 Managed or worked on nearly 1,000 FAC and other projects since 1989 3/4 Invited by EPRI to sit on various software design/review committees, including multi-million dollar development projects for CHECWORKS/SFA and BPWORKS Experience Mr. Aleksick has overall responsibility for creating and delivering value to our clients, including strategic aspects of marketing, finance, sales, operations, and new product develoment. He is a published, nationally recognized expert in the FAC services field with over twenty years of experience.
His technical background is in mechanical systems engineering, specializing in the development, implementation, and management of Engineering Programs, with special expertise in flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), buried piping, and service water/raw water corrosion programs. His technical experience includes the following:
x Legal/Regulatory Expert Support for Restart, Power Uprate, and License Extension Efforts Mr. Aleksick has provided expert support to clients before, during, and after various NRC inspections, audits, and licensing proceedings. For example, Mr. Aleksick played a key role interfacing with NRC in support of Fort Calhouns restart efforts following their 1997 FAC rupture.
In addition, he has supported numerous Extended Power Uprate license amendments (see tinyurl.com/3bq7xj4 for a transcript of his testimony in support of the Waterford EPU). In addition, he has provided support to clients in advance of and during audits and assessments by other bodies, including INPO, WANO, and others. Mr. Aleksick also provided expert support to Kansas City Power & Light for the develoment of legal strategies following the fatalities caused by the FAC piping rupture at Iatan Station in 2007.
x FAC Project Management and Performance Mr. Aleksick has managed or worked on nearly 1,000 FAC projects since 1989 and is intimately familiar with every element of such programs, including:
Development, review, and calibration of FAC-predictive risk-ranking codes, including CHEC, CHECUP, CHECMATE, CHECWORKS/SFA, and others Development and review of technical and administrative procedures Preparation and review of essential FAC program documents including system susceptibility/program basis documents and susceptible non-modeled ranking analyses Preparation of program health reports/matrices Preparation of detailed program assessements/audits Page 1 of 3
Technologies, Inc.
x Notable Projects Mr. Aleksick has had involvement in a number of high-profile FAC projects, including:
Served (on a contract basis) as the Corporate FAC Program Manager at Exelon, responsible for day-to-day management and long-term planning for their entire fleet of nuclear stations Developed and provided FAC/Buried Pipe training to utility executive and technical personnel, EPRI management and technical personnel, INPO field auditors, and NRC personnel Developed and provided FAC training to engineers in China on the application of CHEWORKS/SFA to the generation of reactors currently under construction there Due to his familiarity with the industry direction, practices, needs, and personnel, Mr. Aleksick is frequently consulted about staffing decision by utilities Mr. Aleksick has assisted numerous utilities with restart/recovery plans following FAC ruptures or other significant events x Field Experience Mr. Aleksick's FAC experience on site includes over twenty outages at fifteen different sites. This hands-on site work consisted of coordinating NDE and craft contractors and calculations of component remaining life based on data obtained from the examinations.
Mr. Aleksick also has extensive experience in the development and implementation of programs to address raw water/service water corrosion, valve body erosion, and drywell corrosion.
Prior to founding CSI Technologies, Inc., Mr. Aleksick was a Senior Engineer and key team member at Vectra Technologies (formerly ABB Impell) where he served as the lead Project Engineer.
Education x Undergraduate: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, five years of B.S.-level studies in Nuclear Engineering.
x Undergraduate: University of Nottingham (England), School of Humanities, one year of undergraduate study of Philosophy.
x Graduate: Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Kellogg Management Institute: Essentials of the Masters in Business Administration, one-year non-degree certificate program.
Coursework Mr. Aleksick's coursework at the University of Illinois included: Design in Nuclear Engineering, Safety Analysis of Nuclear Reactor Systems, Nuclear Waste Management, Materials in Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Reactor Physics, and Radiation Protection.
