Oak Ridge, TN
06.2026 - 08.2026
- Supported radiological waste management operations including yard handling, staging, and processing of radioactive materials in industrial treatment environments.
- Assisted with metal melt, incinerator, and CVRF operations for waste volume reduction and material disposition.
- Performed field radiological surveys and contamination control activities using nuclear instrumentation and RMS systems.
- Executed Radiation Work Permit (RWP) requirements while adhering to ALARA principles and site safety protocols.
- Applied respiratory protection and PPE requirements in controlled radiological environments and high-contamination areas.
- Monitored and documented Derived Air Concentration (DAC) levels and supported exposure tracking activities.
- Assisted with laboratory sample handling, testing support, and data collection for radiological analysis and reporting.
- Participated in nuclear waste management field operations including segregation, identification, and material tracking.
Nuclear Intern
WMG Inc
Peekskill, NY
05.2025 - 07.2025
- Conducted primary software testing for a point kernel modeling tool which calculates dose-to-activity factors and
estimated dose rate based on gamma source strength, material attenuation, and flux. - Developed hand calculations for independent verification of point kernel model functions.
- Reviewed the American National Standard (ANS) Photon and Neutron Fluence-to-Dose Conversion Coefficients,
ANSI/ANS 6.1.1-2020, in support of point kernel modeling calculations. - Reviewed the Control Rod Drive (CRD) characterizations of senior nuclear engineers to verify concentration averaging
calculations and characterization results. - Reviewed RADMAN™ nuclide library data against 1967 Kocher Library and Brookhaven National Lab NNDC database
to identify discrepancies in half-lives and gamma-ray properties
