Bio
B.J. Marshall has been at Oak Ridge National Laboratory since June, 2010. He is currently a member of the Target Design, Analysis, and Qualification group within the Radioisotope Science and Technology Division. He is primarily involved in neutronics calculations to support radioisotope production in the High Flux Isotope Reactor.
He spent over 14 years working in the nuclear criticality safety area, in which his work areas included SCALE testing and training, validation of computational methods, the criticality safety of commercial spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation, and the application of sensitivity/uncertainty methods to criticality safety. B.J. was also involved in nuclear data testing and the Department of Energy's Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) in research, modeling and simulation, and training roles. B.J. was elected to the NCSP Nuclear Data Advisory Group (NDAG) in 2019, and was Vice Chairperson of the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project from June 2022 until September 2024.
Prior to his time at ORNL, B.J. spent nearly 4 years at the Westinghouse Electric Company working on spent fuel pool criticality safety and PWR reload analysis. B.J. also spent 4.5 years at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (now a part of the Naval Nuclear Laboratory), primarily working on reactor physics for new reactor designs.
He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Engineering (December, 2017) and a Master of Science degree in Nuclear Engineering (August, 2001) from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Engineering (December, 1999) from the University of Missouri-Rolla (now the Missouri University of Science and Technology).
