Program provided surplus radiological, security, and safety equipment to emergency responder agencies

nationwide to enhance their domestic preparedness capabilities. The CRITr Program was a joint effort with DOE’s

National Nuclear Safety Administration and Interpol. The CRITr Program provided surplus radiological

instruments to partner European countries to eliminate the transport of radiological materials across borders that

may be used for terrorist’s activities around the world. Was responsible for managing all technical, financial, and

human resource aspects of the programs. Was in contact with government agencies on a regular basis to identify

available equipment to be used by the programs. Was responsible for transferring and shipping the equipment to

the warehouse, tracking the equipment through the warehouse via the inventory system; rehabilitating the

equipment and shipping the equipment back out to responder agencies and US Embassies overseas. Worked with

Provided technical support to DOE Oak Ridge Operations Office’s Facilities and Materials Reuse Division

(FMRD) by facilitating projects around the DOE complex to disposition surplus materials in a cost-effective

manner. Over 88,000 metric tons of materials from 20 DOE sites have been recycled/reused, resulting in cost

avoidance for DOE of over $105 million. Supported the development and continuing operation of the following

Programs that promote beneficial reuse: (1) Homeland Defense Equipment Reuse Program - Providing surplus

DOE radiation detection equipment to police and fire departments. (2) National Center of Excellence for

Materials Recycle - Developing cost-effective recycle/reuse options for scrap metal, equipment, and concrete. (3)

The Oak Ridge National Recycle Center for Electronics Recycle - Providing environmentally sound recycle/reuse

options for surplus electronics and cold war era scientific equipment as well as providing for the destruction of

business sensitive and classified data storage media. (4) DOE's Clearinghouse for Lead Recycle/Reuse - Providing

reuse alternatives for surplus lead including shielding, shielded containers, shield walls etc for DOE and

commercial nuclear applications. Provided process engineering/ technical support by initializing contact with the

site and project personnel, defining the recycle/reuse options, and facilitating all the documentation required for

the chosen recycle reuse option, facilitating the chosen option, and then following up with a cost analysis and fact

sheet describing the project and its success. Solicited project funds from applicable DOE programs to support

FMRD’s recycle/reuse programs ($750K). Developed cost savings for all of FMRD’s projects, which went

through a third party validation process and provided this information as requested to Site Programs and Site
