William J. Garland, P. Eng. (B.
Eng. Phy. 1970, M. Eng. Phy., 1971, Ph.D. Chem. Eng. 1975, McMaster
University, Canada) specializes in reactor physics and thermalhydraulics at
McMaster. From 1975 to 1983, he worked in the Canadian Nuclear Industry
specializing in CANDU heat transport system analysis and design. The major
effort from early 1980 to mid 1983 was in heat transport system stability
investigations. This included pre- and post-test analysis, coordination of
AECL's process team, test planning, and liaison. Presently, he is Professor of
Nuclear Engineering in the Department of Engineering Physics at McMaster
University conducting analysis and research of the MNR nuclear reactor
systems. While on research leave at Harwell Nuclear Labs in England, Bill
conducted knowledge engineering for heat exchanger selection and developed a
heat exchanger selection computer code which was commercialized and distributed
through the international company HTFS. In addition, computerized water
property functions developed at McMaster are in use in about 13 countries by
over 120 users in 51 institutions and major engineering firms worldwide. He
served as Department Chair from 1988 to 1994 and was Director of MNR for 1994 to
1995 leading up to the decision to revitalize reactor operations.
Subsequent to that he is took a lead role in MNR safety analysis and operational
support analysis. Since 2000, he has been Academic Director for CANTEACH
and since 2004 he has been the Secretary / Treasurer and Program Director for
UNENE.
