Dr. N. Albert Moussa, Technical Director of BlazeTech, has over 40 years of experience in fire and explosion in a variety of applications. He authored one book on flammability and over 200 publications, presentations, and reports. In 1979, he participated in a national committee organized by the Electric Power Institute to assess the potential hazards of a hydrogen bubble suspected inside a nuclear reactor at the Three Mile Island power plant due to loss of coolant. In 1982, he compared the crash fire hazards of the Lockheed 400-passenger aircraft fueled by liquid hydrogen, versus liquid methane, gasoline, and jet A. He has since worked on safety assessments of components and entire systems involving gaseous and cryogenic hydrogen. Since 1998, he has taught professional courses on fire and has given invited lectures at several universities and the NTSB Training Center.
