About
Sluder's expertise is further bolstered by his professional certifications, including a Professional Engineer license in Nuclear Engineering from the State of Idaho, a Dose Consequence Analyst certification from Idaho National Laboratory, and a Nuclear Incident Response certification from the Defense Nuclear Weapons School. He has also received extensive training in areas such as laboratory operations, pump and valve selection, and radiological worker safety.
With over a decade of professional experience, Sluder has held key roles at prestigious institutions like the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). As a Senior Nuclear Safety Analyst at the ATR, he has conducted failure modes and effects analyses, probabilistic risk assessments, and radiological consequence analyses for complex systems. His work has focused on dose consequence analysis, fuel protection criteria, and material interactions during failure scenarios.
Sluder's expertise is further evidenced by his published works, including peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals such as Nuclear Science and Engineering and Transactions of the American Nuclear Society. He has also presented his research at conferences and has experience as an expert witness, having contributed to industry reports and analyses.
With his extensive educational background, professional certifications, and hands-on experience in nuclear safety analysis, probabilistic risk assessment, and radiological consequence analysis, Daniel K. Sluder, PE, is a highly credible and reliable expert witness in the field of nuclear engineering and safety.
Specialties
Work Experience
As a nuclear safety analyst at the ATR my primary focus is on dose consequence analysis and probabilistic risk assessment (PRA).
As an experiment engineer at the ATR, I participated in a wide variety of projects, operations, and experiments.
Metaculus is a prediction solicitation and aggregation engine that has gamified probabilistic forecasting.
