Supported Early Site Permit (ESP) and Combined Operating License (COL) Applications to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for licensing new generation nuclear power plants.
Supported post-Fukushima seismic studies for existing nuclear power plants in the USA.
Acted as the lead engineer, planned, developed and supervised site subsurface investigation programs following NRC regulations, interpreted field and laboratory test data, originated and checked engineering analysis and design calculations, and prepared investigation factual reports.
Provided site-specific properties of subsurface materials for SHAKE seismic analysis.
Provided input to establishing the site-specific properties of subsurface materials, foundation interfaces, bearing capacity and settlement, response of soil and rock to dynamic loading, earthquake site characteristics, lateral static and seismic earth pressure, earthquake-induced liquefaction potential, static and seismic stability of slopes and dams, excavations and backfills, and groundwater conditions.
Prepared complex seismic-related Request for Additional Information (RAI) responses to NRC queries.
