B. M. Gordon Page 2 Summary Mr. Gordon has consulted on various LWR corrosion and material issues for over four decades with special emphasis on stress corrosion cracking (SCC). He has addressed numerous materials and corrosion problems in the LWR industry over a wide range of subjects including reactor internals, piping, fuel hardware, water chemistry transients, repairs, crack growth rate modeling, alloy selection, failure analysis, license renewal, NRC inspection relief, dry fuel storage, corrosion of steel in concrete, decontamination, etc.

He has served as an expert witness testifying for utilities before the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) and Atomic Safety Licensing Board (ASLB). He also chaired and co-authored Corrosion in the Nuclear Power Industry for ASM Handbook, Volume 13C (2006) and prepared a chapter on BWR IGSCC for Woodhead Publishing (2012). He also teaches his 32 hour3.703704e-4 days <br />0.00889 hours <br />5.291005e-5 weeks <br />1.2176e-5 months <br /> Corrosion and Corrosion Control in LWRs class at the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Mr.

Gordon has been the SI program manager and/or co-author of over 35 EPRI sponsored programs and reports. He has over 75 technical publications including co-authoring three books on IGSCC in BWRs.

Mr. Gordon was the SI project manager for the Yucca Mountain Project for TRW, Bechtel SAIC and EPRI. He has conducted evaluations on the qualification of the waste package relative to long-term materials corrosion performance, weld residual stresses and long-term corrosion monitoring.

While at GE Nuclear Energy (GENE), Mr. Gordon was responsible for consultation, problem analysis and management of programs on BWR materials/environmental interactions. He developed and qualified the environmental BWR IGSCC mitigation technique, hydrogen water chemistry, prepared the EPRI decontamination guidelines for BWRs and qualified a process for BWR full-system decontamination. Mr. Gordon also co-patented a revolutionary method of inhibiting radioactivity and mitigating IGSCC in nuclear reactors, a process that won R&D Magazines 100 award as one of the most significant new technical products of the year.

Mr. Gordon managed multi-million dollar development programs on corrosion testing, field surveillance, failure analysis and design qualifications at GENE. He has lectured throughout the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Japan and Europe on corrosion phenomena to technical societies, regulatory agencies, utilities and vendors.

Mr. Gordon has supervised senior level materials engineers and has consulted on a broad range of materials problems for other GE businesses. He also managed the materials technical exchange programs among GE, ABB, Hitachi and Toshiba.

Mr. Gordon directed corrosion programs on steam generator materials and nuclear fuel cladding while at Westinghouse. He performed fieldwork on the nuclear aircraft carriers Enterprise and Nimitz and devised and qualified a new surface treatment for zirconium and hafnium alloys for corrosion and hydriding mitigation.
