Nuclear Engineer, Knolls Atomic Laboratory - Created new reactor core designs for a pressurized water reactor. Analyzed different core designs using 2D and 3D diffusion theory codes. Generated nuclear design parameters and transmitted results to other design disciplines such as shielding, thermal/hydraulic design, and mechanical design. Generated correction factors for diffusion theory codes using comparisons to Monte Carlo. Verified and validated results of new computer codes, computer tools, and supercomputer systems. Performed validation of the depletion capability of a Monte Carlo code. Assisted in issuing and presenting major design documents to customers. Provided general and technical mentoring for two summer interns and newer full time employees. Represented group of 45+ employees at meetings to determine computer hardware and software needs.
