Former SRS engineer hops over to defense board

By ExchangeMonitor

Andrew Kline joined the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board on Monday as an on-site inspector for the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C., the board announced Monday.

Kline was previously a design engineer, operations process manager and project manager at the Savannah River Site, a former Cold War plutonium production complex with a major liquid-waste cleanup now managed by DOE’s Office of Environmental Management, plus ongoing and planned nuclear-weapons work managed by the agency’s semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration.

As one of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s (DNFSB) four resident inspectors at Savannah River, Kline, who had worked there since 2015, will be responsible for observing safety conditions at the site. DNFSB does not regulate DOE, but it does periodically issue safety recommendations with which the secretary of energy must publicly agree or disagree.

Kline will also be liaison between DNFSB, the public, Savannah River Site management and state and local agencies, the board wrote in its press release. Kline has a Master of Business Administration from University of South Carolina Aiken and a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from the Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg.
