  • Hydrogen generation, distribution, and flammability evaluations in response to the Fukushima accident. I was tasked to develop models that accurately predicted the migration of hydrogen in an accident scenario. After creating the model a input deck for the hydrogen analysis was developed and used to run each different accident scenario. The results were then analyzed to determine accuracy and determine if the plant would be safe if the accident occurred.  Core catcher design sensitivity studies for the APR-1400.  Modeling of systems through Isometric Drawings and P&IDs for waterhammer potential.
