My current focus at the NWMO is the development and operation of safety assessment tools and models. I have considerable experience using and developing a variety of finite-element, compartment and spreadsheet models. My areas of expertise include long term spent CANDU fuel and bentonite clay performance, biosphere/dose modelling, software quality assurance and project management. I also regularly engage with the public on nuclear issues including radiation, advanced fuel… Show more My current focus at the NWMO is the development and operation of safety assessment tools and models.
