Radiation Testing for Nuclear Inspection Systems, Vega Wave Systems

The objective of this project was to test the Enduray Vision System developed by Vega Wave Systems Inc., using 3 MeV X-rays generated by the Van de Graaff system, to assess the radiation tolerance of the system. These tests showed that the Enduray Vision System was 10× more radiation-hard than the best available commercial competitor in terms of dose rate and can easily sustain radiation dose rates and total doses seen in the most extreme commercial applications in the nuclear energy industry.

Human Factors Engineering for the Move to Digital Control Systems – Improved Strategies for Operations, GSE Systems

The objective of this project was to develop a simple system that allows control of a plant simulator from a workstation. Called the Task Engine for Job and User Notification (TEJUN, also the Japanese word for “procedure”), the system is a web-based application that allows procedures to be authored in an easy-to-read document format.
