He directed a multi-million-dollar project at Georgia Power’s Plant Hatch to design and install a safety system after TMI.

He is now a full-time writer and consultant. He has appeared on PBS NewsHour, on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s “Georgia Weekly,” and on numerous radio talk shows. Having lectured in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Ireland on various scientific topics related to his research, he is considered to be a skilled public speaker and is easy to understand, as well as entertaining.
