A nuclear physicist and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Dr. Resnikoff has worked on radioactive issues since his first project at West Valley, New York in 1974. Throughout his career, he has assisted state and local governments across the US in order to identify and create solutions for radioactive waste storage and transportation issues. His recent research focus has been on the risk of transporting and storing radioactive waste and the health impact of radioactive waste from oil and uranium production. Dr. Resnikoff has also co-authored four books on radioactive issues, including regarding contamination at DOE facilities. In June 2000, he was appointed by DOE secretary Bill Richardson to a Blue Ribbon Panel on Alternatives to Incineration. In August 2010, he was an invited panelist to President Obama's Blue Ribbon Commission on Nuclear Safety. In November 2013, he was an invited panelist before the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board on the subject of the implication of high burnup nuclear fuel on decommissioning and transportation. The Next Nuclear Gamble is about the transport and storage of nuclear waste. The Council on Economic Priorities Study addresses a grave technological problem: how to handle irradiated nuclear fuel. The council examines the risks, costs and alternatives, and proposes a recommended course of action for the regulatory agencies and utilities. This book provides factual analysis and guidance for the ordinary citizen whose life and whose children's lives are so deeply affected.
