Dear Committee Chair:

SUBJECT:

NOMINATION OF MICHAEL R. JOHNSON FOR 1990 BLACK ENGINEER OF THE YEAR The purpose of this letter it, to nominate Michael R. Johnson, a Senior Reactor l

Operations Engineer with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, for selection as the 1990 Black Engineer of the Year.

The basis for this nomination is the outstanding contribution he has made in strengthening the safety of commercial nuclear power plants nationwide. Mr.

Johnson achieved this result through his design of a control process to optimize the effectiveness of engineering safety evaluations of nuclear power designs, plant construction and operations, t

)

His extensive engineering knowledge and experience related to integrated power

~

plant operations provided'a strong foundation for determining the most efficient and effective system for ensuring that a high degree of reactor l

safety-is achieved. This required a professional background in engineering 4

that included mechanical, nuclear, electrical, and civil engineering and extensive knowledge related to radiological health physics, instrumentation and control' systems, and human factors associated with complex control room operations.

Mr. Johnson was selected as a special assistant to the Executive Director for f

Operations when it became evident that he was an engineer with the expertise o

L and motivation to make major contributions to.this agency. This assessment of Mr. Johnson was based on his outstanding engineering analyses of several design, construction-and operations aspects of commercial nuclear power plants.

l l'

As the Executive Director's assistant, he was the principal engineer for control process design and in that position made major contributions to improving the effectiveness of the process. His system has been adopted for nationwide application in focusing the attention of NRC engineers and inspectors on the most safety significant aspects of commercial nuclear power plants.

u He has now been assigned to the staff of the Office Director for Nuclear Reactor Regulation for the purpose of providing expert knowledge to support the implementation of the process. This involves numerous meetings across the country with nuclear engineers and inspectors, systems analysts, and key management personnel.

l May 1980 - April 1983 Directly supervised all aspects of operations, l

maintenance, and testing of the ship's nuclear reactor, steam, and electrical systems and associated auxiliary equipment while serving in various j

engineering department positions aboard the USS Ulysses S. Grant ($$BN 631),

Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine.

April 1902 Certified Chief Engineer by Naval Reactors (ADM H.G. Rickover, NAV5EA 08), a distinction similar to that of professional engineer.

I April 1982 -' November 1985 Taught a progressive leedership and management course which prepares,1unior officers for first leadership duties aboard Navy nuclear submarines. Awarded distinction, " Navy Master Training Specialist" for instructor excellence. Headed submarine school task force to develop a curriculum to train future leadership instructors.

November 1985 Accepted a Commission in the Naval Reserve.

January 1986 - April 1987 Served as a Reactor Operations Engineer in the DTfice of. Nuclear Reactor Regulation at the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

(initial assignment) Performed inspections of licensed operating commercial reactor plants in areas of engineering and maintenance.

Served as team leader for creation of inspection guidance as part of a critical initiative to close out several high-priority multiple plant action items.

June 1987 Awarded a NRC High Quality Certificate for outstanding initiative and contribution while managing development of a computer system which enhanced management of the NRC inspection program. This first time effort resulted in creation of a database which enabled direct analysis of the correlation between NRC level of inspection effort and operating plant performance.

Mr. Ashe has been with the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission l

(NRC) for the past 17 years.

During this time he has held j

increasingly responsible positions as an electrical engineer.

He

}

has been responsible f or the review and inspection of electrical, instrumentatian and centrol equipment and systems that are vital 3

to the safety of commercial nuclear power plants.

Demonstrating his technical expertise, Mr. Ashe has reviewed a wide range of licensing activities associated with the regulation of nuclear l

power plants, f rom initial design considerations to the l

evaluati on of operating experiences.

Throughout his career, Mr.

l Ashe has upheld the highest standards of the mission of the NRC; l

to protect the health and saf ety of the public.

{

Mr. Ashe is currently assigned to the Comanche Peak Project I

Di vi si on, which was created to f ocus the agency's regulatory resources on the troubled Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station.

Mr. Ashe was selected to this group because of his broad f

knowledge of electrical, instrumentation and control systems.

Mr. Ashe has conducted inspections of the design process f or key

[
