SUMMARY:Rotarian Jim Marra\, Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness (CNTA) Executive Director
DESCRIPTION:CNTA provides education and information on nuclear technology\, including nuclear waste management and environmental remediation; energy sources; medical applications of radiation; industrial applications\, including food irradiation; nuclear production processes; and national security. Marra brings to the position a career filled with many significant jobs in the nuclear arena\, which gives him a great breadth of knowledge\, said Don Bridges\, CNTA Chairman. “We had many outstanding candidates\, but Jim Marra brings exceptional experience in nuclear work\,” Bridges said. “He not only understands the nuclear industry\, he works well with stakeholders and citizens. He will be an asset as we bring important nuclear information to the forefront.” Marra has a Bachelor of Science degree in Ceramic Science and Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics (Alfred University\, Alfred\, NY); a Master’s degree in Materials Engineering (Worcester Polytechnic Institute\, Worcester\, MA); and a Ph.D. in Ceramic and Materials Engineering (Clemson University). Marra began his nuclear career at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) as a Senior Engineer and progressed to the level of Advisory Engineer. He also spent time as a Senior Scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM).  Marra has numerous notable awards and achievements\, including the SRNL Don Orth Lifetime of Merit Award in 2015. His background includes work in radioactive and hazardous waste immobilization; nuclear nonproliferation; Fukushima Daiichi technical support; DOE-EM International Program leadership; International Atomic Energy Agency consulting; Hanford Waste and Immobilization Treatment Plant technology development and testing; Plutonium Immobilization Program; new production reactor for weapons materials; and production reactor safety rod development. Marra said he is looking forward to the new challenge of communicating the benefits of nuclear work because it’s important for citizens to understand. “Nuclear plays a role in our everyday lives\,” Marra said. “I’ve spent my life involved in nuclear projects\, and I know first-hand how much our country needs to keep the nuclear industry viable\, and that begins with everyone having a better understanding of what nuclear is and what it does. I look forward to working for CNTA to create a renewed focus.”  \nCONTACT US
