Environment. Ilealth, and Safety Mann,ggr Patrick M. Cowher 1979 to 1987 a% d-erina Laboratory Techalcias is the United States Navy Nuticar Power Premraat This program included 24 weeks ofintensive classroom instruction including physics, mathematics, reactor theory /prirciples, chemistry, radiologi:al controls, and radiation physics followed by 24 wceks of prototype reactor trmining. Upon completion Pat attended Engineering Laboratory Technician School, a 13 week course ofinstruction on primary and secondary plant water cimmistry controls, chemical analysis and radiological conaois. Topics included in this course ofinstruction included biological effects of ioniting radiation, radiation detection and measurement, personnel monitoring, shielding, contaminatbn control, surveying requirements and techniques, dose calculations, and prrtical application of principles covered.
Ilis assignments included Radiological Controls is:ading Petty Officer on board USS Enterprise and Plant Leading Engineering Laboratory Technician at a land based prototype reactor. In these fositions, Pat was the senior enlisted individual responsible for supervising all aspects of radiological controls at these facilities. These included implementation of all aspects of Radiological Controls including, but not limited to, perfornmnce and evaluation of routine surveys, dosimetry, and training. A significant portion of theses activitics inclu: led implementation ofin process radiological controls during routine and emergent maintenance activitics including denlopment and implementation of an effective ALARA prngram. Duriag each of these assignments, complex nuclear maintenance evolutions were performed including resin discharge and replacement and a primary plant chemical cleaning.
19871999 - Bechtel National Curocration After leaving the Navy, Pat worked for Bechtel National Corporation at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station as a Training Engineer in the Radwarte Operations Support Group.
19#9 - 1993 - Sandia National I,aboratory Pat joined the staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM as a Senior Technical Aide in the llcalth Physics Department. Pro ided overview of all aspects of health physics operations at the Pulsed Power Research Center, Reactor Facilities,1101 Cell Facility and Ganmia irradiation Facility.
These responsibilitics included establishing radiological controls requirements associated with work activitics at the particle beam accclerators, pulse x ray machines, pulse reactors, high activity source material, nuclear weapon maintenance, and nuclear fuel experimentation. Selected as a member of the Radiological Assistance Team for Transportation of Transuranic Waste from Idaho National Engineering Laboratory to the Waste Isolation Pilot Project.
Jo93 - 1997 - University of lowa
- llealth Physics Associate managing the Radioactin Waste Program for a broad scope NRC bcensed facility. Activitics lacluded derclopment and implementation of a comprehensive radiological controls program for the management oflow lewl radioactive waste generated in the course oflicensed activitics including medical research and patient treatment. Developed comprehensive sury,y program in support of activitics and coordinated all waste disposal actisitics.

Ile worked for the next several years developing a neutron scatterometer device to ensure the readiness of the secondary shutdown system of a CANDU 600 plant. In 1988, David O'Connor was awarded a M.Sc.E., major in Nuclear Engineering, from the University of New lirunswick for his work in developing and prototyping the neutron scatterometer, in 1989, David O'Connor undertook graduate studies at the University of Michigan, under the supervision of Dr. Glenn Knoll. Ills area of emphasis was nuclear measurements. David O'Connor's Ph.D. research involved the characterization of gain wander in a gain stabilized system for gamma spectroscopy. Currently, Mr. O'Connor is preparing for the defense of this material in completion of his Ph.D. While studying at the University of Michigan, Mr. O'Connor instructed several courses on radiation detection and monitoring as well as the nuclear reactor laboratory. llis research and studies have included the utilization of many nuclear detectors and methods as well as an extensive use of core mapping techniques.
David O'Connorjoined GE Reuter - Stokes, at that time a division of GE Nuclear Energy, in 1095. llis responsibilities at 'iie company include developing techniques for the plating of uranium onto substrate metals, supervision of the chemical and nuclear laboratories, detector design development and program director for reactor tests of prototype detector designs, in September 1997, Mr. O'Connor attended a 40 hour4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> course on RSO training conducted by Radiation Safety Associates of Connecticut.
