Providing health physics expertise in radiation dose reconstruction

The NIOSH Radiation Dose Reconstruction Program has yielded thousands of successfully processed claims for workers’ compensation.Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the program helps ensure that energy workers who developed cancers from occupational radiation exposures—or surviving family members—are rightfully compensated for their illnesses. Since the program's inception in 2002, ORAU and its partners NV5/Dade Moeller and MJW Technical Services, Inc., have reconstructed radiation doses for current and former workers of DOE and atomic weapons employers.

Break it or build it, think differently: Ashley Stowe, Ph.D., ORAU Chief Research and University Partnerships Officer

Ashley Stowe, Ph.D., is ORAU's new chief research and university partnerships officer. An accomplished scientist and inventor, Stowe joined ORAU after an 18-year career at the Y-12 National Security Complex that included standing up the Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center. In this episode of Further Together, Stowe talks about the excitement he has for the work being done by the Research and University Partnerships Office, including the focus on nuclear energy workforce capacity-building through the ORAU STEM Accelerator, the various grant programs offered to University Consortium members, and the possibilities for research opportunities open to any employee at ORAU. All that his office manages has the potential to benefit our government agency customers and help grow the company.
