TEXAS RADWASTE CHIEF GETS NEW ROLE, NO REPLACEMENT YET

By ExchangeMonitor

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is promoting Susan Jablonski, who has been spearheading the agency’s licensing efforts with Waste Control Specialists as director of the agency’s Radioactive Materials Division, to Area Director for Central Texas, effective May 1. TCEQ’s Andrea Morrow confirmed to RW Monitor that in her new job, Jablonski will not have any role with the agency’s Radioactive Materials Division. Her replacement has not yet been named.

Jablonski has been influential in national low-level waste issues for years. She was designated by Texas’ governor as the Texas representative to the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Forum, serves as Agreement States’ representative in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s ongoing site specific assessment working group, and serves as the TCEQ Radiation Program Officer to the NRC. Jablonski is a health physicist and a professional engineer, and previously served as the Director of Health Physics of the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority until transferring to the TCEQ in 1999. TCEQ has four Area Directors in the Field Operations Division, and in her new post Jablonski will oversee offices in San Angelo, Waco, Austin and San Antonio.
