He and IBM/IEEE honors followed, including Smithsonian and Bulgaria awards.

BG&E seeks record rate hike to fund Calvert Cliffs costs
Baltimore Gas and Electric seeks a 12 percent electric rate increase from the Maryland Public Service Commission, totaling about 194 million dollars. If approved, the average residential bill would rise roughly 7.25 dollars monthly, with 65 million allocated to Calvert Cliffs costs, 44 million for Lusby plant improvements, and 21 million to cover replacement power interest. Calvert Cliffs has faced partial shutdown since May 1989 amid NRC criticism of management. People’s Counsel urges a token hike and shifts the burden to investors for BG&E’s Calvert Cliffs missteps.
