Background

About Nick Bailey

I grew up with a passion for learning, a desire to be challenged, and a knack for problem solving. I naturally gravitated toward the field of physics and haven’t looked back. Since 2020, I have been reconstructing radiation doses for claimants with cancer under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA). Using technical guidance, current radiation cancer-risk models, and claimant dosimetry records, I estimate the ionizing radiation doses received by current and former Department of Energy nuclear weapons workers. I then write a report that is sent to the claimant explaining what I did, in plain terms. I take a complex subject matter and explain it in a way that can be easily understood by claimants with a variety of educational backgrounds. Each claim presents a unique radiation exposure scenario for me to grapple with, and no two days on the job are the same. In addition to reconstructing radiation doses, I peer review the work of other team members to ensure that we, as a group, are putting out the most polished product possible. I am an effective communicator and a reliable employee. I am frequently leaned upon by management for time-sensitive matters because I work well under pressure. I am always willing to take on additional responsibility if it eases some of the load for my coworkers. I never say “no, I can’t” or “I don’t have the time”; I find a way to make it work. Feel free to message me. I am happy to chat,
