Bio
Dr. March-Leuba is the principal of MRU, which specializes on measurements, regulatory and uncertainty analysis. He is a member of the U.S. NRC Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards and Associate Professor in the Nuclear Engineering Department of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is a recognized expert in the field of BWR Stability and safeguards instrumentation. During his 37 year career as a nuclear engineer, has had professional activities and developed expertise in many fields, including: reactor thermal hydraulics and dynamics, reactor I&C and protection systems, software development and testing, and instrumentation development for international safeguards, including the HEU Blend Down Monitoring System and IAEA’s On-Line Enrichment Monitor. Dr. March-Leuba is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society and has served in numerous program committees for international conferences. He has close to 300 publications and reports, and over 1000 citations

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:
2016 – present Principal, MRU, a small company specializing in measurements, regulatory and uncertainty analyses.
2016 – present U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards. Full member.
86 – 2016 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN. Distinguished Development Staff Member. Thermal Hydraulics and Irradiation Engineering Group, Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division.
79 – present The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Associate Professor in the College of Engineering (96-present). Research Associate (1985). Graduate Research Assistant (79-84)
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Dr. March-Leuba started his career in ORNL’s I&C Division, where he was involved in numerous research projects in the fields of noise analysis and dynamic modeling, including: BWR stability measurements, study of reactor internal vibrations, measurement of flow and thermohydraulic parameters, response time of pressure sensors, and development and applications of noise analysis techniques for safe reactor operation. He was responsible for a number of reactor tests to determine the stability of commercial BWRs. He developed improved analysis techniques for subcritical reactivity measurements, and implemented these techniques for automated computer calculations. He was the ORNL I&C technical lead for the Advanced Neutron Source reactor and contributed significantly to sections of the safety analysis report.
In addition to his reactor experience, he has had a long career developing, maintaining, and operating instrumentation for international safeguards. As part of DOE’s HEU Transparency Implementation Program, Dr. March-Leuba developed and successfully installed instrumentation in Russian facilities to monitor on-line the down-blending of highly-enriched uranium. His BDMS/FM instrumentation collected more than 200 instrument years’ worth of data, which helped certify the weapons origin (over 20,000 war heads) of the UF6 that was shipped to the U.S. to be used as reactor fuel. He developed and help deploy OLEM, which is an enrichment monitor used by the IAEA to monitor Uranium enrichment plants worldwide, and responsible for the physics and data processing as well as the data acquisition and control software.
Dr. March-Leuba has been the PI for numerous technical reviews as a consultant to the U.S. NRC, including topics related to operating reactors, ESBWR, EPR, ABWR, and APR 1400. He has provided technical review input to the staff on EPU’s and MELLLA+ applications, and has supported the staff operator performance reviews on numerous plant audits. He has implemented upgrades in the TRACE code, and developed numerous benchmark studies. He was primary author for two Standard Review Plan sections, SRP 15.8, ATWS, and SRP 15.9, Stability.
Dr. March-Leuba is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society and reviewer for multiple technical publications.
