Project Management Background

Foxfire Scientific has project management experience with a variety of radiological health and safety program operations. For a uranium mine closure project, we designed and implemented the worker safety program and monitoring protocols. We collaborated with the prime contractor from the initial proposal through to project completion. The safety program included air monitoring, contamination control, worker safety training, and bioassay monitoring. We prepared the safety aspects of the operating procedures and all the safety program procedures. In addition, Foxfire Scientific maintained all dosimetry records and provided closeout surveys and reports thereof.

In the area of retrospective studies, Foxfire Scientific has a proven track record as both the sole contractor and as a member of a team of specialists. Foxfire was selected to perform a dose reconstruction for workers and members of the public at and near a collection of uranium mines and mills, and along haul routes from the mines to the mills. We evaluated operations at the mines, ore haul routes with consideration of temporal variation in the tonnage transported, operation of the mills, atmospheric transport of released particulates, time and motion studies of potentially exposed individuals, and performed detailed analyses of the external and internal doses to the individuals. In another instance, Foxfire was a member of a team wherein other firms performed the atmospheric and hydrologic transport analyses of radioactive contaminants and Foxfire subsequently performed the environmental transport through foodstuffs and the dose reconstruction to individuals.

Foxfire Scientific also has experience with the management and oversight of the radiological characterization of CERCLA sites and similar sites, including FUSRAP sites. We have worked for both Potentially Responsible Parties and for owners of adjacent, impacted properties and government agencies. Foxfire has prepared the radiological component of conceptual site models, remedial investigation/feasibility studies, radiological characterization surveying and sampling plans, and human/ecological risk assessments. We have worked with other specialists such as geophysicists to perform site investigations to locate buried wastes and to prepare site management and remediation plans.
