Dr. Bill Beal is a physicist supporting U.S. federal radiological emergency response from the Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration's Remote Sensing Laboratory at Joint Base Andrews in Washington, DC. Over the last nineteen years, he has worked on several programs spanning a broad mission spectrum, from radiological search to aerial radiological measurement to post-incident radiological monitoring and dose assessment. He spent over two months supporting the U.S. government's response to the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, including three weeks with the deployed NNSA team in Tokyo, Japan. He continues to support the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) as a scientist, instructor, and liaison, and currently serves as the skill set leader for FRMAC liaisons. Dr. Beal received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from North Carolina State University.
