About
Biography
I am a Chartered Radiation Protection Professional (CRadP) and Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA) with 10 years’ experience in the Nuclear and Contaminated Land industries. Much of my career has been spent working in consultancy on a variety of projects in the UK and abroad, prior to joining EDF Nuclear New Build, as a Decommissioning and Radiological Specialist. I currently provide technical leadership and support to the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C projects, along with being appointed as the company’s RWA.
During my time working in consultancy I was a Business Leader, Line Manager and Technical Consultant. This included previously holding Commercial and Operational roles for a Nuclear Business Unit with a Profit and Loss of £8 Million.
I was also responsible for the formation and development of a number of new capability areas within various companies including Radiological Protection & Radioactive Waste Management Capabilities.
In addition I actively support a number of Universities and Professional Bodies, this includes being appointed as an Honorary Recognised Teacher at the University of Liverpool, Associate Tutor and Member of the Postgraduate Advisory Board at the University of Surrey and an Industry Lecturer at the University of Bath. I am also President Elect of the UK's Chartered Society for Radiological Protection (SRP).

ResearchResearch projects
I am actively involved in contributing to the IRPA work stream on ALARA. My particular area of contribution has been around the integration of Radiological and Conventional Hazards into a combined risk assessment and holistic ALARA / ALARP demonstration. Research and development into novel dose assessment techniques in support of risk assessments and other regulatory submissions. This has included the development of methodologies for assessing the chemo-toxicity of various enrichments of Uranium from direct radiological measurements and assessing doses associated with "skyshine" from radioactive waste stores. Research into Nuclear and Radiological Safety Competency Systems and Culture Development for both Nuclear Site Licensees and Supply Chain Organisations (e.g. Design Houses, EPCs and Consultancies). This includes the demonstration Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personal (SQEP), embedding of Nuclear / Radiation Safety Culture into the supply chain and integrating of international radiation protection cultures. Development of Radioactive Waste Treatment Technologies for problematic waste streams such as Contaminated Oils and Graphite. My particular expertise relates to demonstrating the feasibility of applying new technologies in a nuclear licensing and permitting regime. I am additionally experienced in the field of Radiation Detection, Characterisation and Source Term Development. Indicators of esteem
