Sustainable Results
Mr. Richardella has applied experience gained over his career to implement technical and operational improvements and solutions at a number of DOE facilities. He applied his engineering, operations, and safety background to the curriculum and course content development in his role as Safety Training Program Manager at the National Training Center. He developed Deactivation and Decommissioning plans for the L-Building and the Material Examination Laboratory hot cell complex at Bettis using processes and lessons learned during the closure of the Rocky Flats nuclear facility. He successfully managed the subcontracting, technical content and on-time delivery of the preliminary design and preliminary safety analysis report for the SHINE Medical Isotopes project to produce Mo-99 using an accelerator-based approach with low enriched uranium as the source. Mr. Richardella is currently implementing a graded formality of operations for a non-nuclear DOE facility that includes a configuration management program, a maintenance management program, and a conduct of engineering program.
