Frederick J. Schultz is currently the waste characterization manager for
NorthWest Nuclear, LLC.
Prior to that, he was the group leader of the Applied
Radiation Measurements
Group of the Waste Management Operations Division at the Oak
Ridge National
Laboratory. He has developed and applied both neutron- and
gamma-ray-based
nondestructive assay systems for the characterization of
radioactive waste. He
has a patent pending on an active/passive neutron assay
system, the APNea. He
was the ORNL TRU Waste Program Manager and was also
responsible for the training
and safety of nuclear facility operators. He has been a
facility manager of a
category 3 nuclear facility. He is still actively involved
in research and
development activities and holds a patent for a
non-intrusive explosives
detection system. His current research activities include
the development of
TRU and incinerator waste assay systems and landmine
detection systems. He is
also a staff member of the Center for International Threat
Reduction at ORNL and
is responsible for providing NDA equipment and expertise to
selected Russian
institutes, as well as participating on various project
teams associated with
the DOE Nuclear Material Protection, Control, and Accounting
Program. He is an
adjunct research faculty at Western Kentucky University
where he is conducting
research in the detection of landmines. He received a
patent on his work in the
detection of hidden explosives. He received an M.S. in
Nuclear Chemistry from
Purdue University in 1978.
Jeffrey A. Chapman, CHP, PE, joined Canberra Industries as a senior
scientist in the
nuclear products
group in October of 1998. Currently he is the project
manager for NDA/NDE Oak
Ridge Operations, under contract to the Bechtel Jacobs
Company, LLC, which
provides radiation measurement services of radioactive waste
and SNM to the East
Tennessee Technology Park, Y-12 plant, and Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. For
the past 8 years, he was a technical staff member in the
Applied Radiation
Measurements Group within the Waste Management Operations
Division at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. He was involved in the development,
implementation, and
integration of radiation measurement systems for the
management of transuranic
waste, solid-low level waste, mixed waste, hazardous waste
determined to be
DOE-No Rad Added, incidentally contaminated wastes for
industrial landfill
disposition, green is clean waste programs, and facilities
released for
unrestricted use. He also assisted with the ORNL
performance assessment for
solid low level waste, the removal of 233U from the Molten
Salt Reactor, the
High Flux Isotope Reactor spent-fuel rerack, and the
nondestructive assay
facilities at the Oak Ridge Y12 and gaseous diffusion
plants. Prior to joining
Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1989 he worked on the
International Chernobyl
Project in Budapest Hungary; for Rockwell International
in their hot cell facility and
spent nuclear fuel storage facility in California; and as a
spent-fuel
management and licensing consultant to the commercial
nuclear power industry.
He is a registered professional engineer (nuclear) and
certified health
physicist. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1983
with an M.S. in
nuclear engineering and has been ?nearing? completion of his
doctoral
dissertation at the University of Tennessee. He currently
co-instructs the
graduate-level radioactive waste management course at UT,
the biennial Waste
Characterization course at Los Alamos National Laboratory,
and short courses on
preparing for the NRRPT and CHP exams.
Dr. Robert Holloway formed Nevada Technical Associates, Inc. in 1994 and
the company has been providing educational short courses since that
time.
Prior to that,
he was employed by the Environmental Protection Agency in Las Vegas, Nevada
as a laboratory supervisor in radiochemistry, in work related to radiation monitoring
near the Nevada Test Site. He has more than 25 years
experience in radiochemistry and environmental monitoring. He has published
13 scientific papers on radioactivity and has given numerous oral presentations.
