Biography
Mr. Robert Jones has more than 33 years of Engineering and field management experience for large industrial projects. Mr. Jones provides engineering support to DOE-SR SWPF Project Management staff with respect to configuration management, electrical reviews, and database administration for the Salt Waste Processing project. The Salt Waste Processing Facility Project, or SWPF, is a key U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility at the Savannah River site (SRS) that will process the high-activity radioactive legacy salt waste (over 34 million gallons) currently stored in underground tanks at SRS. SWPF is a critical cleanup facility that directly supports DOE's priority, to safely and expeditiously empty and close waste tanks to reduce risk.
Prior to his current assignment, Mr. Jones applied engineering knowledge to:
- Preoperational testing and power ascension testing and start-up of nuclear plant E.I. Hatch.
- Nuclear Regulatory Task Force support for development of PSAR/FSAR at two nuclear power plants - Grand Gulf and Waterford.
- Field support in retrofitting L-Reactor control room at Savannah River Site.
- Supervised and trained field engineers responsible for maintaining 115 kV power system at SRS.
- Interface between SRS and Ebasco for the SRS New Production Reactor infrastructure systems.
- Configuration Management for WSRC Salt Disposition Program activities, predecessor to SWPF.
Mr. Jones has held technical and management positions with Georgia Power Company; E.I. DuPont; Westinghouse Savannah River Company; and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
