... Mr. Croff's technical accomplishments include creation of the ORIGEN2 computer code used worldwide to calculate the radioactive characteristics of nuclear materials for use in nuclear material and waste characterization, risk analyses, and nuclear fuel cycle analysis; developing and evaluating comprehensive, risk-based waste classification systems, including changing the boundary defining transuranic waste from 10 to 100 nCi/g; technical, economic, and systems analysis of current and advanced nuclear fuel/material cycles from uranium mining through waste disposal; and conceiving, analyzing, and reviewing actinide partitioning-transmutation (P-T)

... She has more than 20 years of experience serving at Sandia National Laboratories in several capacities, including director of the Nuclear Waste Management Program Center, manager of the Environmental Risk Assessment and Waste Management Department, and deputy manager of the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) and Technical Integration Department.
From page 54...
... His professional interests are in mineralogy and materials science, and his research has focused on radiation effects in complex ceramic materials and the long-term durability of radioactive waste forms. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Ceramic Society, The Geochemical Society, the Geological Society of America, the Mineralogical Society of America, and the Materials Research Society.
From page 55...
... He is a retired professor of materials, civil, and nuclear engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. His work includes environmental waste management programs such as remediation of mine lands by the use of industrial byproducts, focusing on large-volume usage of flyash-based cementitious grouts.
From page 56...
... The major emphases of his work have been radioactive wastes, hazardous air pollutants, and environmental mercury. He has served on numerous national committees addressing radioactive waste management, including committees of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; the U.S.
