He has 37 years of experience in probabilistic risk assessment, including methods development and regulatory applications of reliability analysis, risk analysis, and decision analysis. He also has 33 years of supervisory and project management experience in risk analysis, including program development and supervision of Ph.D. research. Much of his work focuses on commercial nuclear plants, but he has also worked on waste handling facilities, gaseous diffusion plants, accelerator-based systems, semiconductor manufacturing, space systems, and, more recently, offshore drilling facilities. In addition to his work at Idaho National Laboratory, he supports NASA’s Headquarters Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA) in improving the technical basis for decision making in System Safety. Based in part on his contributions to NASA’s original PRA Procedures Guide, he supports the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) in developing guidance to conduct a Probabilistic Risk Assessment for offshore oil and gas industry operations. The team issued the first draft of BSEE’s guide at the end of Fiscal Year 2016. He has authored or co-authored more than 125 publications and technical reports.
