Experience:

Rad. Engineer/ALARA Coordinator 12/2010 – 03/2010 

Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant; Project Team member for the GSI-191 Sump Project. Responsible for development of project dose estimate. This required daily interface with Project Managers, Schedulers, Planners, major stake holders, and field personnel to create, track, and adjust dose estimate as needed.   Interviewed key personnel to determine how man-hours and resources would have total dose for impact the project.  Developed management and field operations reports to verify work status and enable forecasting.   The project was completed on time and dose goals successfully met. Commended for ability to work under time pressure and assist in the overall success of the project. Prepared in-progress and final documentation reports to reflect original, added, and emergent scope breakdowns.

 

Experience: Continued

ALARA Specialist / Rad. Engineer for these Steam Generator Replacement Projects: 01/2005 – 11/2009

·         Prairie Island Nuclear Power Station

·         Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Station

·         Calloway Nuclear Power Station

·         Crystal River Nuclear Power Station

 

Main responsibilities for these projects included being a team member reviewing and providing schedule updates for radiological significant events that impacted project activities (ProjectView, P3, P6). This aided both the Project and the Health Physics Departments in being prepared, thus avoiding work delays during the project. Attended shift schedule meetings to status Health Physics activities such as shielding package installations and updated these activities in ProjectView at Crystal River Power Station. Interfaced daily with Major stake holders to schedule and perform necessary HRA and LHRA briefings in such a manner as not to impede critical path work activities. Provided dose estimates, work package reviews and ALARA briefs as needed to support the project. Prepared documents for the Health Physics Technicians to educate/assist in their understanding of High Risk Job evolutions. Provided in-field support to ensure shielding packages were installed correctly, coaching work crews on good ALARA practices.
