Adjust flow of electricity to tools or production equipment
In shipyard, I calibrated Barton flow gauges, electronic water level sensors, pressure detectors, source range, and power range detectors to specifications on schedule with a strenuous time constraint as these calibrations prohibited further testing.
Configure computer networks and compile data for use in observing operational trends for possible onset casualties and health of reactor plant components.
Inspect systems to determine if they are operating properly
I was instrumental in a high-risk evolution called dual media discharge, where I gathered pressure and flow data and communicated that data to ensure that the highly radioactive resin was safely discharged overboard to a shore containment.
