Kat started her career in the nuclear industry as a Health Physics Monitor on the Dounreay site. Having spent 10 years in this role she has an appreciation that monitoring is a “skilled trade”. She went on to become Senior Waste Advisor until leaving the Dounreay and heading for Magnox (now NRS Ltd) to work as a Health Physicist on major projects. In 2015 she left the industry to provide RPA/RWA advice and guidance to various other industries including oil and gas (working offshore and onshore), universities, industrial users and research establishments. Her passion lies in offering pragmatic advice, raising standards, and training the next generation of radiation protection professionals.

Ross began his Health Physics career as a Health Physics Surveyor in 1998. Developing a keen interest in Health Physics resulted in moving to Windscale to train as an RPA in 2005. A two year period working at Chalk River Laboratories in Canada was followed by a return to the UK as a consultant in Radiation Protection. Ross has worked as an embedded RPA in several projects for a variety of organisations since 2011 – striving to ensure radiation protection is engrained in project delivery to ensure safe, successful delivery. He uses his practical background to identify simple, pragmatic solutions in often complex situations.
