11/2014 Present
Mr. Erdogan as an Engineering Associate, performed reviews of High
Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) seismic capacity
calculations for select components at the Watts Bar Nuclear Power plant
Units 1 and 2. The reviews were performed to ensure the calculations
prepared by RIZZO were consistent with the technical requirements of an
EPRI and design criteria for the the Watts Bar Nuclear Power plant Units
1 and 2. Additionally, he has performed fragility analyses for mechanical
and electrical components such as Horizontal Pumps, Fans, Air
Handler ,Instrument Racks, Distribution Panels, Horizontal Tanks and
Engine Generators.

04/2014 Present
Mr. Erdogan, as an Engineering Associate, performed numerous seismic
probabilistic risk assessment engineering tasks for the plant. He also
performed reviews of High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure
(HCLPF) seismic capacity calculations for select components at the
Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant. The reviews were performed to
ensure the calculations prepared by ABS were consistent with the
technical requirements of an EPRI based Expedited Seismic Evaluation
Process (ESEP) for the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant. Additionally,
he has performed fragility analyses for mechanical and electrical
components such as MCC, LVSG, MVSG, Transformers, Horizontal
Pumps, POV, SOV, Fans, Air Handler, Chillers, Air Compressors, Motor
Generators, Distribution Panels, Battery Racks, Battery Charger and
Inverters, Engine Generators, Instruments on Racks and Instrument and
Control Panels.
05/2013 12/2013
Mr. Erdogan, as an Engineer Associate, was involved in the preparation
of the Seismic Evaluation Work Sheet (SEWS) for electrical and
mechanical components at the plant. He also performed fragility analysis
for shear wall in the Auxiliary, Control Complex, Reactor, Diesel
Generator, Intermediate Fuel Handling, and Emergency Service Water
Pumps buildings.

Perry NPP | Seismic PRA
ABS Consulting | FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company | Perry, Ohio
04/2014 Present
Mr. Erdogan, as an Engineering Associate, performed numerous seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA)
engineering tasks for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. He also performed reviews of High Confidence of Low
Probability of Failure (HCLPF) seismic capacity calculations for select components at the Perry Nuclear Power
Plant. The reviews were performed to ensure the calculations prepared by ABS were consistent with the
technical requirements of an EPRI based Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) for the Perry Nuclear
Power Plant. He was engaged in performing seismic fragilities for reinforced concrete shear walls in support of
the SPRA for the plant and have implemented the use of Mathcad calculations in order to evaluate the shear
walls seismic capacity and their associated building structural responses. Additionally, he has performed fragility
analyses for mechanical and electrical components such as MCC, LVSG, MVSG, Transformers, Horizontal
Pumps, POV, SOV, Fans, Air Handler, Chillers, Air Compressors, Motor Generators, Distribution Panels, Battery
Racks, Battery Charger and Inverters, Engine Generators, Instruments on Racks and Instrument and Control
Panels.
