Susan and radsafers -

Below is Dave Lochbaum's bio as of the year 2000; its the latest one I

have on file. I've posted this info to radsafe before.

Iit was with great surprise that I read Susan G.'s post stating that

Dave was not a nuclear engineer.

It is always distressing when rational discourse is lowered to the level

of personal attack.

peace,

Norm Cohen

David Lochbaum is Nuclear Safety Engineer for the Union of Concerned

Scientists. Mr. Lochbaum leads UCS's efforts to ensure the safety of

nuclear power in the United States by monitoring licensed commercial

nuclear plants to identify and publicize safety risks.

David Lochbaum has more than seventeen years of experience in commercial

nuclear power plant start-up testing, operations, licensing, software

development, training, and design engineering. He has worked on safety

issues at the Hope Creek and Salem (New Jersey), Brunswick (North

Carolina), Perry (Ohio), Limerick and Susquehanna (Pennsylvania), Wolf

Creek (Kansas), Haddam Neck (Connecticut), Fitzpatrick and Indian Point

3 (New York), Grand Gulf (Mississippi), Browns Ferry (Alabama), and

Hatch (Georgia) nuclear plants. In 1992, he and a colleague identified

deficiencies in the design for spent fuel pool cooling at the Susquehana

plant and reported their concerns to the plant owner, to the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, and then to Congress. Their efforts resulted in

safety improvements at Susquehana and at other nuclear plants with
