--~__J My experience in the nuclear field began with my time in the U.S. Navy. After completing training at Naval Nuclear Power School in Orlando, Florida,.and the S1W Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit prototype plant, I served for four years as a mechanical operator aboard U.S.S.
Carl Vinson (CVN-70). During this time, I qualified at all in-rate primary mechanical watchstations, including Chief Reactor Watch, the mechanical supervisory and senior in-rate position.
After receiving an Honorable Discharge; I continued my education in the nuclear.field. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from University of California at Santa Barbara and a Master of Science in Engineering from University of California at Berkeley.
My career at Aerotest began in December of 1999. In August of 2001, I qualified as Senior Reactor Operator and maintained proficiency through performance of normal operations and maintenance until the facility suspended operations in 2010. After this time, the allowed activities were limited, but proficiency was maintained for most aspects of SRO duties, with the exception being reactivity manipulations.
- To remedy this discrepancy, I recently journeyed to the Reed Research Reactor in Portland, Oregon, and performed as a Reactor Operator under instruction. My operating time exceeded the license requirement of six hours, and I performed eleven reactivity manipulations, including four startups, three power level changes of greater than 50 kW, three manual scrams, and a manual shutdown. This operation, along with my current status within the ARRR Requal Program, ensures that my qualification as Senior Reactor Operator at the ARRR facility remains current with respect to 10 CFR 55.59.
