I am available to travel 100% of time with no limitations

I graduated from George Washington University with a Master’s degree in Engineering and never worked at Washington, DC area until recently. I like Washington, DC area. I worked at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant during the Steam Generator Replacement Outage in 2003 and I did my best at your plant. Your staff and managers were pleased with my performance and technical expertise. My experience is in mechanical and structural engineering and related codes and standards, procurement engineering and project management. I will like to be an essential asset and do my best for your company and my personal career and goal. I truly enjoyed the manner and professional attitude of your staff and would like to be part of your team. I have been a consultant for the past two years and like to be a permanent member of a solid company and contribute to its success and able to excel in my career.

CNS owns and operates Calvert Cliffs, and Nine Mile Point. INPO and other accredited societies have recognized CNS as one of the Leaders in nuclear training program. CNS broke a world record for the Steam Generator Replacement Project for Unit 2 at the Calvert Cliffs NPP. CNS learned from its experience from Unit 1 and made all the efforts to correct its mistakes and proved that it’s a leader in the nuclear operations for the steam generator replacement program. I will like to join this company and further contribute to its excellence. I worked for Messrs. Michael Wallace and Tom Maiman at ComEd and always admired their leadership style and they knew about my technical leadership and management.

Constellation Generation Group (CGG) runs the generating stations and is the power behind Constellation Power Source. CNS has roughly 100 generating units on many sites. CNS owns approximately 11,500 megawatts of generation.

In 2001, CGG added 2,650 megawatts with the addition of 1,550 at Nine Mile Point in New York and 1,100 megawatts of gas fired capacity at sites in Virginia, West Virginia, Illinois (my current home), and Pennsylvania.

CGG’s generating mix is well balanced with a significant reliance on coal and nuclear as base load fuels. These sources will comprise 50 percent of CNS capacity and 75 percent of its output.

Of-course. I have developed many engineering Technical Information Documents (TIDs), which became the Mechanical and Structural Engineering Standards both at Exelon/ComEd and nuclear industry. I presented some of these TIDs in various societies such as American Power Conference, Motor Operated Valves Users Group (MUG), and American Society of Mechanical Engineering Pressure Vessel Piping (ASME-PVP) conferences. Some of these standards have saved ComEd millions of dollars and I have documentation evidence by others who have identified the stated savings to ComEd. I have been author, co-author, reviewer, contributing editor, and session developer at the ASME-PVP for the last decade (since 1994).

Develop in-house engineering capabilities that CNS could stand on its own feet and hold its own destiny rather than relying on the outside expertise unless the outside expertise is proven to be more economical. I like to lead by example and move up the ladder by gaining respect of others who promote big achievers. I like to give and take responsibility and develop a good self assessment program that the whole team wins. Win-win situation is always my goal, because every contributor is recognized. I like my talent to be rewarded as I gain more respect for CNS in the nuclear industry. One day, hopefully, I will be the engineering department head.

Yes. I have been recipient of many awards at ComEd. I have been selected in two TEAM FESTS where the high achievers are recognized. I will provide you the hard copies.

Yes. Of-course. I used to work 60-70 hours a week for years.

I was able to manage many projects at the same time by organizing and prioritizing my tasks. I was able to accomplish them well, independently, and ahead of the schedule. The following scenarios describe my effectiveness:

(a)

While working in the structural engineering group at ComEd, I was also recruited by the programs group to assist them in the seismic component evaluation. This was due to my initiatives, performance, and prior technical capabilities at the Architect Engineering firms and NSSS suppliers. By my participation in this program group’s effort, I saved the LaSalle Nuclear Station a Red Phone Call to USNRC for valve qualification. I was contacted by the program group’s manager to come up with a solution in less than three hours for a valve, which had experienced a thrust value in excess of 30% beyond the design allowable loads. I did not have any experience in the valve analysis prior to that time, but knew stress analysis and saved the LaSalle Nuclear Station from being shutdown. By my managers’ recommendations, I became the manager of motor operated valves seismic and weak link analysis in the first year on the job. ComEd/Exelon Engineering VPs nominated me for highest achievement awards in multiple occasions. I was also the recipient of awards by the ASME-PVP for my contribution to the American society of Mechanical Engineers.

( b )

I was able to manage the dry cask storage project’s engineering oversight activities by myself. Five different personnel previously managed this project. My manager had to reduce the staff by more than 50%. He assigned me to this task and did not reduce my other job obligations. I managed this project so effectively that NRC staff at various times praised my engineering oversight activities for the project. My manager also received high remarks from his superiors for my work (win-win situation).

(a)

I was assigned to resolve a major conflict between Holtec International and NAC International regarding the dry cask storage problem for the neutron shielding material.

Holtec Used Holtite-A neutron shielding material versus Neutron Shielding for Fire Resistance (NS-4-FR) material in the HI-STAR 100 spent fuel cask line.

NAC International had raised a public safety concern against Holtec and charged that NRC had apparently relied upon the proven characteristics of NS-4-FR material to license the Holtec for its Holtite-A material. Since I did not have adequate technical expertise in the thermal analysis and physics, I searched the nuclear industry and employed three technical specialists to join me for this technical assessment. We performed the inspection at Holtec International in early 2000. My technical assessment report documented the resolution of this potential 10CFR part 21 concern and defended the NRC’s position and Holtec Holtite-A material.

Spent Fuel publication as well as McGraw-Hill’s Jenny Weil, Washington had interviewed me for my inspection report and NRC publicly agreed with my conclusion in their report.

(b)

As the manager of MOV seismic analysis at ComEd in 1991-1994 per NRC GL-89-10 Program, My co-author and I presented the valve operability evaluation methodology to Mr. Jim Gavoula, NRC region III in 1994 to justify the operability of over 70 MOV’s at Dresden and Quad Cities. The subject valves were exceeding the design license allowable loads. We justified the continued operation and prevented plant shutdown, which saved utilities millions of dollars. I presented this project as a technical paper at the 1995 ASME-PVP conference

(c)

Without being assigned to the following task, I took initiative and invented the following at ComEd/Exelon by utilizing various personnel and my boss at the nuclear engineering department:

The evaluation process for the structural rigging evaluation was lengthy and frequently impacted schedule adherence for emergent repairs resulting in costly outage extensions and increased entry time into Limiting Conditions of Operation (LCO). My generic solution for this task and the quantitative results included the elimination of $3.0M-$5.0M per year in Architect Engineering expense and indeterminate additional savings which resulted from improved schedule adherence and improved Safety System Availability across the ComEd Nuclear Generation Group (NGG).

Prior to my generic solution, engineering was required to evaluate all rigging loads to non-designated rigging points. This resulted in detailed calculations for various SSCs including piping, pipe supports, structural steel, welds, embedded plates, concrete expansion anchor plates, conduits, etc. The previous flow path involved:

• Maintenance Work Planner----ComEd Engineering----Architect Engineering (A/E)---ComEd Engineering----Maintenance Work Planner----First Line Supervisor----Implementation

Revised flow path:

• Trained Maintenance Work Planner-----NES standards---- First Line Supervisor---- Implementation

The rigging process has been institutionalized by being part of station procedures, EWCS tracking, and maintenance practices. The maintenance departments have become familiar with the standards, which are now considered as a ready reference. While minor updates will be necessary to the document, the Nuclear Engineering Standard process and periodic review program will ensure that the Rigging NES will remain current well into the next millennium. This project was selected for the ComEd Team Fest Program and 5 people including myself were recognized for an excellent team work (Win-win situation for all and good success story that every one was proud of serving our company to save money). I presented this project at the 1998 ASME-PVP paper.

I have provided numerous training sessions to various groups of engineering, quality assurance/control, procurement engineering, and management staff at ComEd (1992-2000), Westinghouse (1990), and 26 Utility Members of NUPIC and DSQG on fall of 1999. The areas of my training sessions included: Design Control Assessment/Techniques, Structural evaluation (rigging criteria, piping support criteria, etc.), and Equipment seismic and weak link analysis. I have been a part time instructor for math course at College of Dupage, IL for 5 years. I have presented technical argument to NRC in defense of ComEd nuclear parts and components. I provided a complementary training session to the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Engineering and Procurement staff in April 2003. I will have a Tutorial training session at the ASME-PVP Conference on July 20, 2003 at Cleveland, OH.

As I explained above, I have led many projects including Equipment Seismic and Weak Link Analysis at ComEd per NRC GL89-10 program (4 years), Structural Rigging Program at ComEd (three years), ComEd Dresden Nuclear Station Unit 1 engineering oversight activities of suppliers (i.e. Holtec International, U.S. Tool & Die, and Omni Fabricators) for nuclear fuel dry cask storage containers (two years). Stone & Webster Engineering Manager of Structural Group at various sites (Millstone, Surry Nuclear plants).

I was part of two different groups of nuclear engineering departments at ComEd (Structural & Mechanical Engineering as well as Engineering Program) despite the fact that I was hired by Mechanical & Structural group to be there 100% of my time. However, the company observed my abilities to do both. I was very successful and managed my time very effectively to serve both groups as well as our nuclear stations. In the structural group, I had many tasks including corporate functions and trouble shooting, while visiting sites to help many nuclear stations whom needed my expertise. This was a reason that I almost worked 50-60 hours a week on average. I received many good feedback for my work from peers, customers, and supervisors. I mainly had high expectation from myself and held myself primarily accountable for properly managing my workload.

My courses that I taught, standards that I developed, and the transfer of knowledge and gaining feedback and knowledge while giving training. I am also very satisfied with saving ComEd nuclear plants from being shutdown and the program that I managed for four years. Nowadays, I like teaching my Tutorial ASME-PVP Course on the Design Control Assessment.

I am very glad that my two daughters and I got our black belts in Tae-Kwon-Doe in 2002.

I am very glad that I finished my graduate and undergraduate school in less than 4 years vs. 6

I am very proud parent of two lovely kids even though God made them, but I am glad that I did my part.

An opportunity to give and receive. I am looking for hungry people for success and pride with high ethics and integrity. A Company, which gives you what, you need to succeed. A Company that wants a challenge to be a world leader in whatever it produces and stands behind its products. A Company that builds quality in its products and does it right the first time and all the time. A Company that recognizes its big achievers.

I am flexible to negotiate the rate. I am not looking for a job, but rather negotiating my career goals with a company that desires my abilities, attitude, and leadership style. Money matters are secondary and will be negotiable with a mutual interest.

Yes, I will for sure.
