Following a period of three years with ALSTOM Power working on the development of combined cycle power plants, Ralph Schulz joined the former HSK in 2000. Initially he worked primarily on the Probabilistic Safety Analyses (PSA) required for nuclear power plants (NPPs) and also managed various projects.
