The Health Physics of Space Nuclear Power Systems - Mars Pathfinder and
Cassini Missions (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/) 


Mark Phillips, from Jet Proportion Laboratory (JPL) is our November guest
speaker. His topic will be a general overview of nuclear power systems (NPS) 
and their application for spacecraft as power sources and thermal sources. 
He plans to talk about the health physics aspects of NPS ground
operations including; shipping, preparations for use, intra-site transfer,
and installation on the spacecraft in preparation for launch. The Presidential 
Nuclear Safety Launch Approval Process, and radiological contingency planning, 
preparations, and launch day activities will also be discussed. 


Mark is an active member of the Southern California Chapter of the Health
Physics Society and holds an undergraduate degree in biology from Ohio State  
University. He completed graduate work in systems management from Florida 
Institute of Technology during 1984 -1986.

His work experiences includes: 

Kennedy Space Center 1981 - 1991 
… Manager of Health Physics Office 1983 - 1991 
… Alternate RSO for USNRC Radioactive Materials and Industrial Radiography
  Licenses 
… Primary Accountable for Ground Operations and Radiological Contingency
  Planning for Galileo and Ulysses Launches 


Jet Propulsion Laboratory 1991 - Present
