AMPLIFICATION OF EXPERIENCE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY I was hired by Columbia University in August 1949 as an Electron en Technician to work on layout, construction, and installation of a Time of Flight t.;ystem associated with a Slow Neutron Velocity Selector.
After completion of that project, I'was assigned, in 1951, to a secret project concerning measurment of the fission cross-section of U-235. I assisted in the machining of parts, and sub-sequent assembly of a multi-plate fission counter. After the plates had been prepared they were turned over to a chemist for electroplating. The counter was assembled, and I assisted in testing using Ra Be Neutron Source before turning the counter over for use in several experiments at various laboratories.
In 1953, I was assigned as Engineering Assistant on a Pulse-Transformer Neutron Generator Research and Development Project.
The project included development of a high current 500-KV pulse transformer accelerator and associlated P.I.G. ion source. My as
- signment during this project was to assist in the construction and testing of pulse transformers and ion sources. I was required to design and build auxiliary equipment for testing as well as for the transmission of pulses, prepLration of insulating mat-J erials, etc. This auxiliary equipment included vacuum systems, power supplies, and various pulsing systems.
When the Van deGraaff asscelerator arrived in 1955, I was assigned to it as Chief Operator. My initial duties were to su-pervise and participate.in interconnecting the various stations before the HVEC Field Engineer arrived for assembly of the Van deGraaf accelerator. My duties during the installation were to assist the'HVEC engineer in the physical installation and test-
p. ' ' '.'.
ing of CN VDG prior to acceptance.
After acceptance of the Van deGraaf accelerator by Columbia Universityp my. duties included supervising and participating in the operation and general care and maintenance of:the' Van deGraa accelerator an'd associated vacuum systems. I was responsible for' the weekly calibration testing and maintaining of the Neutron Monitoring and interlock system installed in the Van deGraaf ac--
celerator experimental area. I also maintained the portable ra-diation monitoring instruments. During routine operation,'I provided charged particle beams as required by researchers, helped to line up beams, assist researchers.in setting up and operating various experimental apparatus.
During breakdown periods, I also was responsible for gas handling, which included operation and maintenance of 2400-lb.
60 CFM compressor to retrieve gas from tank prior to opening tank to make necessary repairs. I was also required to operate a 20-ton crane to raise and lower the tank for repairs and mod-ifications to the terminal. I also supervised the in callation of new ion' sources and their tuning', filling of terminal gas bot-ties, etc., and helium leak chasing Van deGraaf accelerator when any modifications were made that may affect the vacuum in the ma-chine.
In,1960, I became Van.deGraaf accelerator Operations Engine-
.er, and my duties were. increased to include design of auxiliary equipment and responsibility for making modifications to the Van deGraaf accelerator.
$P.
A partial list of equipment which I have designed includes:
Adjustable beam stands for holding beam pipes.
Slit, vidwing and beam stop assemblies following analyzing magnets.

p-Modification of HVEC beam stop to a Fail-Safe design.
Design and installation of high vacuum pumping stations using dry. ice traps, mercury diffusion
. pumps and mechanical pumps.
Design and installation of vacuum extention from existing analyzing magnet to new analyzing magnet.
This extention included isolating pnetmatically controlled valves actuated by a vacuum safety circuit.
Installation of a general service rough vacuum system to enable rapid pump-down of auxiliary chambero anywhere on the expe'cimental floor.
I was a member of a Group Safety Committee which was responsible for Radiation and general safety.
I have also been associated with tests and de-bugging of serveral terminals for the Columbia Van deGraaf Accelerator.
In 1970 I joined the Health Physics Office as Assistant Health Physicist. My duties include:
Incoming isotope shipment surveys Laboratory and atomic surveys-(electron micrscopes, x-ray diffraction units, contamination of labs and personnel.)
Radiation Instrument calibration and repair.
Isotopes analysis by energy and activity.
l Bioassays evaluation by liquid scintillation techniques Exposure record keeping Laboratory design for safe isotope handling Radioactive waste managment Laser surveys Microwave surveys Mercury surveys NRRPT Registered in June 1976
