Experience Summary
Mr. Noname, a Registered Mechanical Engineer with 33 years of experience, has a broad background in mechanical and nuclear engineering. He has managed design teams, developed test plans and operating criteria, and guided fabrication and construction of numerous test facilities. He has managed groups of test engineers providing the services using the numerous processes and equipment that he has developed for a variety of clients. He has direct experience in managing a project from inception through to final construction/fabrication and operation turnover to the client. He has extensive experience performing criticality, shielding and activation analyses using complex computer models, including MCNP5 (A General Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code, Version 5), ANITA 2000 (neutron activation), and MicroShield 5.05 (point kernel gamma shielding).
In 1978, Mr. Noname joined ANCO Engineers, Inc., as a nuclear engineer working on various nuclear projects at Hanford. He expanded his horizons by designing and developing various processes and equipment to aid in inspecting and revitalizing nuclear steam generators for the nuclear power industry. As principal investigator, he was the prime technical liaison with the various clients as well as project manager. Clients included Ontario Hydro, the Electric Power Research Institute, and Westinghouse Nuclear Systems Division.
In 1983, he was a co-founder and President of ANTECH Services, Inc., that provided similar steam generator research and development technology to the U.S. Navy for nuclear vessels. In conjunction with his steam generator research and development activities, Mr. Noname has been the technical liaison and project manager for a variety of projects with Westinghouse Plant Apparatus Division, Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Army.
Mr. Noname returned to nuclear engineering analysis in 1992 when he joined Fluor Daniel to perform shielding design evaluations for the DOE Hanford Waste Vitrification Project (HWVP). His tenure included projects at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Hanford, and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management.
In 1999, he joined the AECOM family of companies, starting with Holmes and Narver, DMJM and then the combined DMJMH+N. His major projects at DMJMH+N include nuclear projects at Hanford, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratory and mechanical projects at NASA Ames Research Center and Commerce Club and Casino.
In 2004, he rejoined Fluor for a two year effort at the Hanford Site where he analyzed various waste streams in disposal containers for TRU content using computer simulation with MCNP.
In 2006, he joined EnergySolutions providing nuclear and mechanical engineering expertise on various projects at Hanford, Oak Ridge and other DOE nuclear sites as well as a Site Rad-Waste Treatment Facility in the People’s Republic of China.

Work Experience
Jan 1978 to Jan 1990: ANCO Engineers, Inc.
Mechanical/Project Manager: Tubesheet Cleaning Process Development, U.S. Navy: The nuclear power industry and the U.S. Navy have steam generators that provide separation of the radioactive liquid that cools the reactor and the steam that provides energy to the turbine-generator. The steam side of the steam generator concentrates scale and sludge similar to all boilers. Mr. Noname provided technical guidance, formulated design drawings, guided fabrication and tested equipment to remove soft sludge (corrosion product buildup) from nuclear steam generators. The project involved the creation of a new process for agitating cleaning fluids inside the steam generator to suspend the sludge for ultimate removal. The technique was reduced to practice in a full-size model (designed and fabricated under Mr. Noname’s guidance) that demonstrated the process met all design criteria. Production equipment was designed in anticipation of future usage. The anticipated cost of the process would save considerable time and expenditures over existing competitive techniques.
Mechanical/Deputy Project Manager: Ultrasonically Enhanced Chemical Cleaning, Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, Electric Power Research Institute, U.S. Navy: The nuclear power industry and the U.S. Navy have steam generators that provide separation of the radioactive liquid that cools the reactor and the steam that provides energy to the turbine-generator. The steam side of the steam generator concentrates scale and sludge similar to all boilers. Mr. Noname provided the design and guided fabrication of a small scale chemical cleaning loop to demonstrate the ultrasonically enhanced chemical cleaning of a full-size model of a nuclear steam generator. The cleaning process accelerated removal of hard radioactive sludge (corrosion product buildup), while minimizing removal of the base metals in the steam generator. He also served as Project Engineer responsible for designing and guiding fabrication of the ultrasonic devices used to enhance chemical cleaning of nuclear steam generators. The designs were predicated on the acceptability of all materials with regard to function and compatibility with the various chemical solutions. Activities included conducting bench-scale tests of the ultrasonic devices and a full-scale demonstration with appropriate chemical solutions.
Mechanical/Project Manager: Vibration Probe Development and Inspection Services, U.S. Navy, Electric Power Research Institute, Ontario Hydro, Westinghouse Plant Apparatus Division, and Westinghouse Nuclear Systems Division: The nuclear power industry and the U.S. Navy have steam generators that provide separation of the radioactive liquid that cools the reactor and the steam that provides energy to the turbine-generator. The steam side of the steam generator concentrates scale and sludge similar to all boilers. Mr. Noname provided technical expertise for vibration probe inspections, a technique used to quantify corrosion buildup between tubes and support structures in U.S. Navy and commercial nuclear steam generators. Mr. Noname designed, developed, tested and guided fabrication of the vibration probes. Miniature vibration probes (possibly the world's smallest eccentric mass vibrators) were the end result of this development effort and inspections of select nuclear steam generators were performed to enhance the knowledge base of a number of clients.
Mechanical/Project Manager: Seismic Qualification of N-Reactor Valve, U.S. Department of Energy, Richland, Washington: The Hanford site of the Department of Energy had a number of reactors that provided plutonium production for the Department of Energy. One of these reactors (N-Reactor) was also an electric power generator as well as a plutonium production reactor. ...
