Before joining TerraPower, he worked at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for more than nine years in various capacities. He served as the national technical director for System Interface and Support Systems for the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative, and as technical lead for Reactor Testing and Qualification for Fission Surface Power Systems for a NASA/Department of Energy Space Reactor Program. He also served as the U.S. system integration manager for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant/Very High Temperature Reactor (NGNP) and Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor programs. He was also the co-chair on the international Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor system steering committee for the Generation IV International Forum. Early in his tenure at INL, he was group leader for the Advanced Reactor Design Group. With much of his career in advanced reactor design and analysis, Dr. Weaver collaborated with fellow researchers on Generation IV nuclear energy systems and the Generation IV International Forum. His technical background includes reactor physics, reactor design, fuel cycle analysis, radiation spectroscopy, radioisotope production and reactor operations. In addition, Dr. Weaver is the author or co-author of more than 90 publications and technical reports in nuclear science and engineering, and is the co-author of a new textbook on fast spectrum reactors. Dr. Weaver holds a Bachelor of Science in physics with minors in math and Spanish from Brigham Young University, and a doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of Utah.

	67	+Pontin '07, ~~Mark Williams Pontin ( I'm a writer and sometime editor, born in London, living in California. My professional work has appeared in many venues, ranging from mainstream media outlets like ABC News to more rarified contexts like MIT Technology Review. I've covered almost every subject under the sun. Stories I've written have frequently featured science and technology – whether that means commercial IT or biogenetic tech, nuclear reactors or spaceflight, neuroscience or cosmology, bioweapons or quantum networks, or whatever else. You'll find pieces about all these things and much more here. The human effects of new ideas and technologies have equally been a concern in my work, though. So I've written not only about security and policy issues, but straight finance and business, too, with a particular concern with healthcare. Samples here include long interviews I've done with the likes of Peter Drucker, the original management theorist, and former Obama economist Austan Goolsbee; and netwar theorist John Arquilla and erstwhile Soviet bioweaponeer Serguei Popov on security matters. I've not written about everything under the sun, since I've never published any sports or food stories. I have reviewed novels, though, and played at being a jazz critic. Also, as a working professional, I've done down-and-dirty trade mag work for publications that had names like Project Manager magazine and SiliconIndia. I've even done straightforward technical writing; samples available upon request. Finally, I've used the byline Mark Williams mostly (my full name is Mark William Pontin). This has had various advantages – not least when one minor functionary told an editor that Mark Williams would go on the no-fly list if he proceeded with an article about genetically-engineered bioweapons.), Nuclear Energy for the Developing World, MIT Technology Review, 2-27-2007, 7, https://www.technologyreview.com/s/407373/nuclear-energy-for-the-developing-world/, 10-16-2016.
