Dr Burchfield is a world renouwned expert in the nuclear sciences. He holds a PhD in Nuclear Chemistry and has lectured extensively to all major government agencies. view associates »
Dr. Burchfield has more than 30 years experience in the nuclear sciences. He recently authored a book entitled: Radiation Safety & Management: For Homeland Security and Emergency Response, John Wiley & Sons which was published in July, 2009. He has also published numerous articles on nuclear fallout and radioactivity in the environment. Dr. Burchfield has been an invited speaker to numerous international conferences and has taught nuclear science courses at several major universities.
Dr. Burchfield served in the US Army's Nuclear Weapons Program and he has served as a consultant to all major US Department of Energy (DOE) sites, commercial nuclear laboratories as well as nuclear instrument companies. In 2000, he was one of four invited members of the Joint Russian - American Working Group for Nuclear Waste Disposal and Environmental Protection.
Dr. Burchfield currently leads a cadre of scientists and engineers as the Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Radiochemistry Society.
Dr. Kaiser has a broad and deep technology background in executive business management and financial training from General Electric, ABB, and Battle. He has authored 10 successful patents and has authored more than 22 technical papers. Additionally, Dr. Kaiser is very active in both the technical world and the world of business management.
From 1977 to 1983, he held a senior engineering position in Westinghouse Hanford and GE. In 1986, he accepted a position as the Chemical Science Department Manager at Battelle's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA. After a successful 5 years with the Department, winning many science awards and doubling the business size, he accepted a position at GE that led to moving into the executive level as the Manager of Fuel Manufacturing Operations. In that position he restructured the manufacturing and laboratory operations, from a detailed technical and an organizational point of view, introducing new products, reducing cost by 30% and increasing output by 50%, and reducing cycle time by 80%. Dr. Kaiser managed the day-to-day operations, which produced about $300 million worth of nuclear fuel for commercial power reactors world wide each year. In this position, he was the site emergency director and became very familiar with EPA and NRC regulations and regulators.
In 1996, he joined ABB as Vice President of Nuclear Fuel for ABB. Again, his skills in technology, management and business restructuring within a much-regulated nuclear business provided invaluable. Over a two year period I caused the manufacturing and supporting laboratory facility to be modernized and business orders were increased by $1.2 billion, costs were cut by 30%, process cycle time was reduced by 60%, and by closely working with the NRC the business was removed from their watch list.
As an instructor & consultant for the Radiochemistry Society, Dr. Kaiser combines his unique humor and candor with his technical skills for very powerful and informative lectures.
