EMPLOYMENT:

1995-1997:  Bronx Veterans Affairs Hospital, Supervisory Health
Physicist (left position due to Federal Reduction in Force, RIF)

Advise, establish and implement programs on all matters relating to
radiation safety including:

a. radiation monitoring programs;

b. condition of and need for radiation monitoring and protective
equipment;

c. action to be taken to reduce the radiation exposure of employees or
members of the public to a level that is both below the radiation
protection limits and as low as reasonably achievable with social and
economic factors being taken into account;

d. action to be taken in the event of an emergency or accidental
exposure.

Set up personal monitoring systems for the determination of effective
doses for any employee;

Assess the accumulated effective dose and committed effective dose of
any employee;

Maintain sufficient radiation monitoring and radiation protection
equipment and insure that equipment is calibrated and in a ready and
working condition;

Investigate any defect in an area or item of equipment that may increase
the exposure of a person to radiation and recommend how to correct that
defect;

Investigate sources of radiation exposure, working procedures and
