ENT000262 Submitted: March 29, 2012 Michael J. Slobodien Certified Health Physicist Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc Profile Michael Slobodien is an expert in occupation and public radiological health and safety with 40 years of extensive experience in a wide variety of settings including academia, federal regulatory agency, and nuclear power reactors. His areas of expertise include occupational and public radiation safety, environmental radiation protection, industrial hygiene and radiological emergency planning. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry, a Masters Degree in Health Physics, and is Certified in the comprehensive practice of health physics by the American Board of Health Physics. An acknowledged expert in radiation safety, he has published noteworthy peer reviewed scientific papers and edited and contributed to several technical resource texts. In 1979 while working for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mr. Slobodien was a first responder to the Three Mile Island nuclear power reactor accident and was subsequently in charge of radiation safety and emergency preparedness for the post accident recovery activities at TMI. Mr. Slobodien was technical advisor to the GPU Nuclear / American Nuclear Insurers legal defense team in its successful efforts to defend against health effects claims related to the TMI accident. Mr. Slobodien has been a technical consultant to the National Institutes of Science and Technology in its development of national standards and testing protocols for radiation dosimetry. From 1997-2003 He organized and provided administrative direction for the US Nuclear Power Reactor Cancer Mortality Study in conjunction with The Columbia University School of Public Health and The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Mr. Slobodien is presently the Director of Emergency Programs for Entergy Nuclear Operations fleet with responsibility for eleven nuclear sites in the United States.
