BOYD NORTON My name is Boyd Norton. From 1960 to 1969 I was employed in reactor safety studies at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho.

During that period I was in charge of operation of both the SPERT I and SPERT III reactors. The SPERT program (Special Power Excursion Reactor Test) was designed to investigate the vulnerability of certain kinds of reactors to accidents induced by large reactivity insertions and to understand better the behavior of reactors during power excursions.

to SPERT I.

From 1963 to 1968 I was Group Leader of the Nuclear Test Section of SPERT. I was in charge of operation of both SPERT III and the rebuilt SPERT I.

Prior to my arrival at NRTS, I received a Bachelor of Science degree in physi'es from Michigan College of Mining and Technology. I worked summers during 1954-59 at M&C Nuclear, later a subsidiary of Texas Instruments. M&C Nuclear was a metallurgical laboratory where I did research on fuel elements for nuclear submarines.

In 1969 I was offered, as a result of extensive involvement in conservation work in Idaho, a job with the Wilderness Society, where I remained till 1971. I am now a freelance writer and photographer, mainly on conservation themes but also on nuclear matters.

From 1972-73 I.was on h faculty of Princeton University as a lecturer.

From 1973 through the present I have been on the faculty at CCNY.

c I have published approximately thirty-five research papers in theoretical physics in such professional journals as Nuclear Physics, Physical Review, and Physics Letters, and have contributed to five books on nuclear and theoretical physics.

i My special interests include reactivity calculations for breeder and other reactors, neutron transport theory in reactor physics, the history of accidents at n,n power rosators, and metal-water reactions in reactor accident sequences, as wall as aspects of theoretical physics such as hadron-hadron interactions, gensral relativity, supergravity, and unified field theories of h strong and weak interactions.

Roger L. Kohn (cont'd) 4 Employment:

4 Pacific-Sierra Research Corporation Senior Scientist 1456 Cloverfield Boulevard -

1978 - 1980 Santa Monica, California 90404 ,

Responsible for performance analysis, and design, supervision, and evaluation of tests of optical systems and components. Specifically, laser rangefinders and trackers have been modeled, the effects of atmos-pheric turbulence and aerosol scatter analyzed, and interesting cargets characterized. The utility of various lasers-- tunable dye, neodymium, and carbon dioxide-- for use in such applications as air to ground, air to sea, and ground to ground has been investigated. Key individual com-ponents have been studied and, in some cases, characterized through lab-oratory measurements. These optical elements include heterodyne detec-tors, vide-field optical filters, visible and infrared lasers, and retro-reflective devices. Changes in device or system designs or test proca-dures are recommended through agency or contractor personnel briefings and reports.

i The- Aerospace Corporation Member of Technical Staff Electronics Research Laboratory 1973 - 1978 El Segundo, California (P.O. Box 92957, Los Angeles, CA 90009)

Involved in laser research, development, and the application of op-tics and lasers to mission-oriented programs. Responsibilities included development of new concepts and devices, conducting of laboratory pro-jects, maintenance of expertise on present and future lasers, systems, and applications, and briefing of agency personnel.

Laser research included study of new dye and vapor-phase lasers with emphasis on small-scale, visible devices, and the investigation of laser noise sources. Applications of optics included the measurement of atmos-pheric pollutants, transmission spectrum of the atmosphere, and the anal-ysis of precision rangefinders for satellite positioning (e.g. for pro-posed solar-power stations). Laser lifetime tests were designed for the USAF communication satellite program. Novel concepts were pursued: small particles were levitated by radiation pressure with the aim of rotating t!.a suspended beads for numerous research and device purposes.

l in Special Studies, an interdisciplirary program.. Since spring ~1975 I have been a Lecturer at the University of California at Los Angeles, in an interdisciplina program called the Council on Mucational Development, a program of the UCLA Academic Senate. I am currently teaching " Energy Alternatives and Public Policy," which crosses technical and policy lines.on nuclear and related issues.

In August,1981, I was approved by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in the UCIA reactor proceeding as an " expert interrogator" under 10 CFR 2 733 (LEP-81-29,14NRC333). I have presented invited testimony on nuclear matters before tne U.S. Radiation Policy Council, the Subcommittee on Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources of the Gorernment Operations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Joint Committee on Fisheries andA 'quaculture of the California Legislature, and numerous other governmental bodies.
