Experience Summary

Dr. Montgomery has over 30 years experience in radiological measurements and environmental monitoring, dose assessment, alpha and gamma-ray spectroscopy, radiochemistry, effluent monitoring, bioassay and laboratory quality assurance. For 7 years he was with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Radiochemistry and Nuclear Engineering Branch and responsible for developing radiological environmental measurement procedures and environmental field studies for nuclear power plants. Dr. Montgomery was formerly Chief of the Independent Measurements and Environmental Protection Section with the USNRC's Region II, developing independent measurements capabilities for the regional office including a mobile radiological measurements laboratory. He also managed the inspection program for quality control of chemical and radiochemical measurements, confirmatory measurements, liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring and environmental measurements at nuclear power plants and uranium facilities. In 1986 he joined Analytics, Inc. and has been responsible for radiochemistry cross check programs, product development, quality assurance, and consulting related to radiological measurements and monitoring at nuclear facilities.
