"Science and Engineering Activities at the NSCL (National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory)"

Dr. Konrad Gelbke is a recognized leader within the international nuclear science community for the past quarter century, helping to build the foundation for the groundbreaking RIA facility concept. For the last 15 years, Dr. Gelbke has served as the director of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL)-the nation's foremost accelerator facility for nuclear physics research with rare isotopes. The NSCL currently employs 27 faculty members and approximately 100 graduate and undergraduate students. In 1992, Dr. Gelbke refocused NSCL's mission on rare isotope research, and has since led his staff in establishing NSCL as the best rare isotope research program in the US . In 1994, Dr. Gelbke began the development, negotiation, and implementation of the highly cost-effective Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF)-an $18 million upgrade project that provides intense beams of radioactive nuclei via fragmentation. Dr. Gelbke has served as project director or principal investigator for over $200 million in federally funded research, construction, and laboratory operations. tjkd

Managing 　Director： 　 Utsue Valve Service CO.,Ltd

I worked with Tokyo Electric Power Company(TEPCO) for over 30 years.
TEPCO is the biggest private power company in the world and also the leader of the Japanese power companies. Naturally, this leadership has been in place in the area of the nuclear power generation as well. TEPCO initiated to consider the introduction of nuclear power generation into Japan, and then, has been involved in the development, construction, commissioning  and eventually commercial operation of Japanese style reactors. During these periods, TEPCO have been actively in creation of the relevant organizations, regulatory bodies, and managements of whole nuclear industries in Japan. As a member in this leading company, I have been involved in the development of nuclear power plant, introduction of commercial and construction of power plant from the very initial stage of nuclear development. I was involved in the construction work of more than half of existing 17 power plant of TEPCO that covers 780MWe and 1100MWe power plants as well as ABWR as the Project Manager in the Head Office.  As to maintenance activities of TEPCO, from the beginning of Maintenance Group of TEPCO, I was involved in the creation of appropriate organization within TEPCO and then establishment of Operating Process of such organization. During the period, I was responsible as the leader for a big replacement projects such as Reactor Core Shrouds replacement project.

Other special my personal notes:

1. Familiar with Japanese BWR plant design from that of early date to ABWR
2. Familiar with construction method of Japanese BWR plants
3. Familiar with management of Japanese BWR plant maintenance from that of early date
4. Engaged in almost all large modernization projects in TEPCO such as core internals replacement
5. Long working experience for more than 20 years with GE through the large modernization projects and construction projects of ABWR in Kashiwazaki 6/7
6. Technical knowledge on nuclear Metallic materials
