Mr. Jordan W. Norton is a certified ACCP Professional Level III (Certificate Number 30938) in all four major NDE methods (since 1988). Additionally, in 2002, he received additional certifications by APTECH as a Level III in Eddy Current. During the last 21 years, he has been involved with over 700 projects, at over 150 nuclear and fossil power plants throughout the North America and the Middle East. Mr. Norton has published and presented technical papers at two international Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Conferences on the subject of nondestructive examination (NDE) on welded piping systems. Additionally, in 2003,he co-authored a technical paper on Pulsed-Eddy Current that was published and presented at the Piping & Pressure Vessel Conference for the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME). His experience includes project management, field management, R&D, development of new NDE technologies, quality assurance, vendor surveillance, and served as an authorized instructor for the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). Mr. Norton has a Bachelor’s in Management, a former and Senior Corporate Level III for Ohio Edison Company (First Energy), and served formerly as the Education Chairman for ASNT Cleveland Section.
