PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
2007 – Present Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL
Review Safety Analysis Report of Hanford Unirradiated Fuel Package (HUFP) used for transport of
a core component container that contains unirradiated MOX driver fuel assemblies or loose fuel
pins.
Review Safety Analysis Report of 9516 package used for transport of up to 500 W of Plutonium
dioxide heat source materials in any solid form.
Review Safety Analysis Report of 9979 Type A fissile shipping package used for transport of fissile
Uranium metals, oxides and other solid compounds.
Prepare Safety Analysis Report Addendum of 9977 package used for the addition of five contents
(neptunium, the BeRP Ball, 3013 stabilized plutonium and uranium metals, high 240Pu bearing Pu/U
metals, and highly enriched uranium material) and for the application of RFID System.
Develop a radiofrequency identification (RFID) system for radioactive material management. The
system includes RFID tag and reader, satellite/cellular communication unit, control software with
GUI, database and a Web site.
