Developed GAZE--a neutron diffusion code for nuclear reactor calculations. Developed GAZED--anuclear reactor burnup code. Developed FOG--a mixed water/steam duct flow code for dumping the hot side of helium to steam heat exchangers. Developed GASAC--a spectrochemical analysis code. Did some studies of minerals using X-ray diffraction. Also, worked on gamma ray spectroscopy, neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy, and electromagnetic pulse calculations.

I did the secondary heating calculations for the HTRE series reactors which were run at the Idaho test facility. Secondary heating comes from gamma rays and neutron interactions with structural materials, etc. You don't want the tie rods to get too hot!
