Responsibilities
Maintain the NESHAP monitoring and reporting program for LLNL through source term development, air dispersion modeling, monitoring regulatory requirements, monitoring of ambient air radioactivity, and direct interaction with LLNL Programs
Lead other air quality compliance monitoring programs for particulate matter, volatile radioiodine, beryllium, and tritium washout from precipitation
Revise and improve standard operating procedures, instructions, supplements, and guidance documents for designated sampling systems associated with human and biota dose assessment processes
Conduct air dispersion modeling using short-term and long-term modelling codes, such as HotSpot and CAP88-PC, for the potential of and for actual radioactive air emissions
Conduct human and biota dose assessments using DOE and EPA approved software and spreadsheet calculations. Complete data processing using statistical analysis
Develop realistic and programmatic staff emissions scenarios for planned future operations, working with ES&H Team members
Prepare annual reporting and analysis for the DOE Annual Site Environmental Report and the U.S. EPA radiological NESHAPs report
Conduct investigations of environmental impacts of incidents or accidents involving radiation and make recommendations to prevent a recurrence. Be a member of the LLNL-specific radiological emergency response training center with other ES&H professionals
Perform other duties as assigned
Participate on committees and workgroups within the DOE Complex, representing LLNL in highly complex radiological emissions issues
Act as a subject matter expert, assessing and redesigning the future of the established stack effluent monitoring program, ambient air radiation, and non-radiation monitoring programs while also evaluating the results of these programs
