Mark H. Sanders Sanders Engineering, Las Vegas, NV, USA. Mark C. Sanders holds an advanced diploma in International Nuclear law from the University of Montpellier (France). He is the lead author of the comprehensive journal articles on the nuclear waste management dilemma (Progress in Nuclear Energy 90 (2016) 69-97; 110 (2019) 148-169). During his studies, Mr. Sanders completed courses at the Dickson Poon School of Law at King's College in London (England), obtaining first-class honors. Mr. Sanders is an active member of the International Nuclear Law Association, where he chairs the Radiological Protection working group. He also enjoys participating as a member of the Nuclear Waste Management and International Trade and New Build working groups. In addition, Mr. Sanders along with his spouse, Dr. Charlotta Sanders, are actively engaged in publishing academic manuscripts on nuclear waste management strategies and laws among the major nuclear power producing nation states. In 2018, Mr. Sanders received the American Chemical Society's Energy and Fuels Division's Distinguished Service Medal (Peter Derrick memorial medal).Areas of expertise: Nuclear waste management, Radiation protection, Environmental issues, Nuclear regulation, Regulatory environment, International public law (with a focus on nuclear). Charlotta E. Sanders Sanders Engineering, Las Vegas, NV, USA. Dr. Charlotta E. Sanders is an Associate Research Professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV), and consulting nuclear engineer with over 20 years' experience in the nuclear industry. She worked on the proposed Yucca Mountain geologic repository in the USA, and is therefore well versed on the technical application of nuclear waste management and transportation. Dr. Sanders is a registered licensed professional Nuclear Engineer in the State of Nevada, and the author of over 60 journal/ conference articles (including several U.S. NUREGs). At UNLV, she teaches graduate level courses in Nuclear Engineering and is responsible for the Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineering Certificate program. Her consulting experience includes URENCO USA, Westinghouse, Entergy, and Nuclear Energy Institute. Dr. Sanders is the recipient of the American Nuclear Society Presidential Citation in recognition of her contributions made to the society's response to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan (2011). In 2018, she received the American Chemical Society's Energy and Fuels Division's Distinguished Service Medal (Peter Derrick memorial medal).
