Christine ("Chris") Nelson bio 

 
   Christine Nelson has a BS and MS in nuclear engineering from the
   University of Missouri-Rolla.  She has nine years experience in the
   nuclear power industry, in the areas of authorization basis
   management, interfacing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and
   project management.  She also has five years experience at Los
   Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), as a safety analyst specializing
   in interpreting and implementing DOE safety orders, implementing
   integrated safety management programs, and interfacing with DOE and
   the Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board.  At LANL, she is
   currently responsible for developing an overall safety strategy and
   ESH program for the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility
   (DARHT).  DARHT will include two high-intensity x-ray machines
   oriented at right angles.  Each machine has been designed to
   generate radiographs that will produce data of far higher
   resolution than previously obtainable.  The dual-axis nature of the
   faciltiy will allow researchers to obtain three-dimensional or
   time-resolved information.  Christine will soon be appointed the
   Deputy Facility Manager for Environment, Safety, and Health for the
   Dynamic Experimentation Division at LANL.
