I have been at the University of Florida as a Professor of Practice and Director of the University of Florida Training Reactor since June, 2019. Prior to joining UF, I was the Director of the Washington State University Nuclear Science Center (WSU NSC) from 2006 until 2019. I have worked in the commercial, academic and National Laboratory sectors and have extensive experience in regulatory compliance for both the U.S. EPA and the U.S. NRC. I was the Division Supervisor for the Volatile Organics Analysis Division at Savannah Laboratories and Environmental Services and carried out analyses for chemical contamination of surface waters, ground waters and soils. At Sandia National Laboratories I worked on the Nuclear Waste Management Program with focus on the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)—the only operating deep geological nuclear waste repository in the world. At Sandia I studied the behavior of radioactive materials, including uranium, neptunium, plutonium and americium and compiled and published a thermodynamic database for the chemical behavior of radioactive materials in ground water systems. I have also been an Associate Director in the College of Engineering at New Mexico State University, which acts as an independent agency to monitor WIPP on-site and off-site radiation exposure to personnel and members of the public. I supervised the radiation monitoring program, including environmental sampling and radiochemical analyses of air, water and soils in the environment surrounding the WIPP site. I became the Director of the WSU Nuclear Science Center in 2006. I held a Nuclear Plant Senior Reactor Operator license from 2007 - 2019. As Director I was responsible for facility safety, security and facility operations such as nuclear reactor and radiochemistry laboratory use, experimental radiation safety analyses, handling and use of Special Nuclear Material, oversight of the refueling and conversion of the WSU reactor from HEU to LEU fuel, shipping nuclear fuel from France to the United States and shipping spent HEU nuclear fuel. I managed the renewal of the WSU reactor facility operating license (License R-76). I received awards by the Global Threat Reduction Initiative, Office of Global Threat Reduction, U.S. Department of Energy and the award for Meritorious Performance in Nuclear Operations by the Operations and Power Division of the American Nuclear Society. I have testified before the State of Washington Senate Environment, Water & Energy Committee and before the U.S. NRC Board of Commissioners.
