SHIELDING

I worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center National Laboratory (SLAC), Stanford, California for 16 years; where I was also the Head of the Radiation Physics Department and the Radiation Safety Office. I performed shielding design and activation calculations for various high-energy radiation-producing machines and sources, radiation measurements, neutron and photon dosimetry and radiation damage studies. I reviewed interlock and other safety systems, trained radiation workers, reviewed D.O.E. orders, SLAC policies and procedures, conducted radiological investigations, ALARA and compliance reviews. As a visiting scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, UK, I determined calibration and kch factors for various ionization chambers. I also consulted for the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, on radiological aspects and shielding design of synchrotron radiation beam lines for the 7 GeV photon source. After a brief stint at Xoft Microtube, Milpitas, CA..
