SESSION #2 PROGRESS REPORT ON INITIATIVES BIOGRAPHIES Michael Billone Dr. Billone received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Northwestern University, where he later (1978-1984) served as Associate Professor in Northwesterns Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department.

He is currently the Leader of the Irradiation Performance Program at Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Billones 40-years of research experience at Argonne include modeling the behavior of fuels and reactor materials in fission and fusion environments and include managing experimental work in Argonnes Irradiated Materials Laboratory. From 1998-2016, he managed the NRC-sponsored High Burnup Cladding Program, which focused on LWR cladding embrittlement during design-basis loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) and on LWR spent-nuclear-fuel (SNF) cladding behavior during drying, transfer, storage, and post-storage transport.

The SNF research has continued (2011-present) under DOE-NE-sponsorship. He has 19-years of experience in SNF fuel and cladding behavior during dry-storage and transport.

Rose Montgomery Rose Montgomery began working for Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2016 after spending more than 23 years in the civilian nuclear industry working on nuclear fuel design, fabrication, and post-irradiation examinations. She also has experience with radioactive material and spent fuel shipping and storage container design, and is a registered professional mechanical engineer.

In her role at ORNL, Rose is the research lead in the post-irradiation examination of spent fuel and is also responsible for the design of new experiments and sensors supporting spent fuel Research.

Brady Hanson Dr. Hanson has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California -

Berkeley. He has worked at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for 25 years where his research has focused on spent fuel degradation issues, first for the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain and then for extended storage and transportation. He currently serves as the Lab Lead for Experimental work for the DOE-NE Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology program.
