    Last worked as Principal Investigator for Power Systems Research with emphasis on security. In the recent past, PI for Technical Assessments for ORNL Superconducting Technology Program for Electric Energy Systems and Project Leader for ORNL activities in developing a High Temperature Superconducting Transformer, Technical consultant to the DOE transformer efficiency standards, Project Leader for a successful Director's fund project to design and develop a superconducting motor and associated research facility which received a 1991 Martin Marietta Energy Systems Technical Achievement Award, Program Manager for a program to develop dielectrics and materials for electric power applications in which the effects of nuclear electromagnetic pulse and other steep-front, short-duration impulse on electric power systems insulation were examined. Managed the Athens distribution automation project through the systems design, planning, organization, and equipment procurement stages. The Athens work received an ORNL Significant Accomplishment Award in 1985.

  Duke Energy Corporation formally Progress Energy or Carolina Power and Light

  • Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area

  • Principal Engineer for Energy Research

    • Aug 1973 - Mar 1979
    • Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area

    Developed and coordinated an effective energy research program by conducting and supervising in-house energy research and by contributing to the efforts and formation of the Electric Power Research Institute. I was a member of the first Advanced Systems Task Force, the Fusion Program Committee, and Chairman of the Fusion Engineering Subcommittee. I later served on the EPRI Nuclear Safety Task Force.

• 

  DuPont

  • Savannah River Laboratory, Aiken, SC

  • Research Physicist

    • Jul 1969 - Aug 1973
    • Savannah River Laboratory, Aiken, SC

    Instituted methods of conducting consistent nuclear reactor safety analysis calculations by linking the nuclear kinetics, depletion, and core design models with the thermal hydraulic calculation. Reduced the efforts for performing this analysis by four weeks. Trained and supervised others in the use of these methods. Was an integral part of the team developing one of the first modular nuclear analysis packages. Created a fuel- melting model and bench marked reactor physics and depletion calculations as checks for the neutron cross section data bases that later included in the first ENDF/B packages.
