Dr. S.Y. Chen is currently a Senior Environmental Engineer and serves as Director of the Environmental Technology and Restoration Program at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois. He also serves as Strategic Area Manager in Risk and Waste Management for the Environmental Science Division at Argonne. Dr. Chen received his B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering, from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Dr. Chen’s areas of specialty include radiation protection, human and environmental risk, and accident analysis, with specific interest in waste transportation, environmental cleanup, and radioactive material and waste disposition. Dr. Chen is a Council Member and also serves on the Board of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. He is a member of the Health Physics Society and of the American Nuclear Society. He is also a Certified Health Physicist sanctioned by the American Board of Health Physics. He has previously served as Contamination Limits Section Chair for the American National Standards Institute/Health Physics Standards Committee and has also served as Chair of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Transportation Risk Assessment Working Group. In his current capacity at Argonne, Dr. Chen has developed an integrated risk assessment program that addresses the broad-based issues that DOE and other federal agencies face. These issues include the transportation of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive wastes, cleanup of contaminated lands and environments, termination of licensed facilities, and development of a technical basis to support federal risk-based policies. In addition to leading many analyses on these issues, he has led a program to develop several analytical codes that are commonly used in risk assessment, including the RISKIND Code for transportation risk analysis and RESRAD family of codes for environmental cleanup analysis. Dr. Chen has also extended his program to address the emerging issues regarding potential radiological incidents and events. These include assessing the potential radiological consequences and evaluating environmental remediation measures for incident scenarios associated with radiological dispersal devices or improvised nuclear devices.
