MacDONALD RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT MANAGER Mr. MacDonald received his Associate in Nuclear Engineering from Wentworth Institute in 1965, his Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from Lowell Technological Institute in 1968, and his Master of Science in Radiological Health from Harvard University in 1970. In the summer of 1969 he completed the Health Physics Training Program sponsored by Brookhaven National Laboratory and the USAEC.

While completing the last three years of his undergraduate studies, Mr.

MacDonald worked for Sanders Nuclear Corporation in Nashua, New Hamsphire as an Engineering Assistant. His time was devoted to performing analytical design of various systems employing radioisotopes as heat sources. This work .

included the feasibility evaluation of the application of radioisotopes for these systems and devices by analytically designing and optimizing fuel capsules, energy conversion systems, and shielding.

In addition, Mr. MacDonald worked on establishing and implementing a .

facility radiation safety program. This included work on the design and licensing of a remote-handling hot cell and a radiochemistry laboratory.

. Mr. MacDonald joined Yankee-Westboro in May of 1970 as an engineer within the Radiation Protection Section. In this capacity, Mr. MacDonald assisted in obtaining plant operating licenses in the areas of radioactivity source term analysis and dose evaluations, environmental radiological monitoring i emergency planning, and in-plant radiation protection programs.

In September of 1972, Mr. MacDonald transferred to the Safety Analysis Section where he worked in the source tetm and dose evaluation areas. These evaluations were performed for radioactivity releases associated with normal plant operation and for releases associated with accident conditions.

In October of 1973, Mr. MacDonald was appointed to the position of Manager of the Radiation Protection Group. In this capacity, Mr. MacDonald directed the activities of the group which include both licensing assistance in the radiation protection area for plants under design and construction and oper-acional health physics assistance for operating plants.

Mr. MacDonald joined Public Service Company of New Hampshire in August of 1983 as Radiological Assessment Manager with the responsibility for implementation of the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan.

Mr. MacDonald is a national and New England chapter member of the Health Physics Society and is certified in the field of health physics by the American Board of Health Physics.
