ROBERT A. FJELD, PhD, is the Dempsey Professor of Waste
Management, Department of Environmental Engineering and Science, at
Clemson University. He was among the first to develop curriculum
covering quantitative human health risk assessment for both
chemical and radiological contaminants.

NORMAN A. EISENBERG, PhD, has over thirty years of
experience in environmental risk analysis, including work on
environmental analysis within the federal government (U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy) and as a
consultant, and teaching graduate environmental courses at the
University of Maryland.

KEITH L. COMPTON, PhD, is a systems performance analyst
in the Division of Waste Management at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
