RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT MANAGER i

Mr.MacDonaldreceivedhisAssociateinNuclearEngineeringfromWentworthl Institute in 1965, his Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from Lowell Technological Institute in 1968, and his Master of Science in Radiological l 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.

4 While completing the last three years of his undergraduate studies, Mr. l MacDonald worked for Sanders Nuclear Corporation in Nashua, New Hamsphire as ,

an Engineering Assistant. His time was devoted to performing analycical l 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 emergency planning, and in-plant radiation protection programs.

I In September of 1972, Mr. MacDonald transferred to the Safety Analysis I

Section where he worked in the source term and dose evaluation areas. These evaluations were performed for radioactivity releases associated with normal plant operatton and for releases associated with accident conditions.

In October of 1973, Mr. MacDonald was anoointed 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-ational 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.

THOMAS VICE PRESIDENT - NUCLEAR PRODUCTION 47 Mr. Thomas received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineer-ing (cum laude) from the University of Massachusetts in 1965 and his Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University in 1982.

Upon graduation from the University of Massachusetts, he was employed by General Dynamics Electric Boat and Quincy Divisions where he qualified as 63 an SSW Senior Nuclear Test Engineer and supervised the initial startup of a number of submarine reactors.

In 1967 he joined Babcock and Wilcox Company as a Design Engineer and performed thermo-fluid studies for the design of light water and liquid metal reactor components.

In 1969 he joined Yankee Atomic Electric Company and participated in the Yankee Rowe Operator Training Program.

In 1970 he was appointed Preoperational Test Coordinator for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.

In 1972 Mr. Thomas qualified for a Senior Reactor Operators license at Vermont Yankee.

In 1973 he was promoted to the position of Assistant Station Superin-tendent of Vermont Yankee. In this position he was directly responsible for operation, maintenance, and technical support of the Station. He personnally directed initial power escalation testing and several refueling outages.

During the cumulative period 1975 to 1977, Vermont Yankee attained the highest capacity factor of a domestic Boiling Water Reactor.

In 1977 Mr. Thomas was appointed Startup Engineer for the Seabrook Pro-ject. In 1978 he became Startup Manager for YAEC and established the YAEC Startup Test Group at Seabrook Station.

Following the Three Mile Island accident, he actively participated in the TMI recovery organization and the post-accident evaluation performed by EPRI-NSAC.

In September 1980, Mr. Thomas was appointed to the position of Nuclear Production Superintendent for Public Service Company of New Hampshire. In that position, he had overall responsibility for the operation of Seabrook Station from the corporate office. g3
