Profile

I live in a sleepy town near where I work with my family and young children. I really love American Football, I mean REALLY love it. To keep fit I do some running. My lastest project is taking up computer programming in Python computer language, which sounds a lot more dangerous than it is.

Wow, where to start. I work for a UK wide company called Magnox and get to travel all over the UK with work. My expertise is in chemistry but I get to turn my hand to quite a few engineering and scientific disciplines. My main job is the containers used to package radioactive waste, how they are manfactured, filled with waste and stored. One day I might be writing a report on how the containers will last for 500 years! The next I will be advising someone on the best way to clean and inspect the containers. The next I might be looking at why some containers aren’t functioning properly and what we can do to stop it happening again.
