Dr. Banerjee is an internationally recognized leader in nuclear waste management, with 
extensive expertise in developing and applying mathematical and computational methods 
for radiation shielding, criticality safety, and reactor analyses. He specializes in Monte 
Carlo radiation transport and burnup credit criticality safety analyses for the storage, 
transportation, and disposal of spent nuclear fuel. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. 
Banerjee has successfully initiated, led, and managed major R&D projects in nuclear waste 
and radiation transport areas.
For more than a decade, he has supported the Department of Energy’s Integrated Waste 
Management (IWM) in various capacities, including as control account managers, as well 
as serving as interim national technical director. In this role, Dr. Banerjee has spearheaded 
annual planning efforts among national laboratory participants to develop an Integrated 
Priority List (IPL) of proposed activities for implementing consent-based siting and 
crosscut programs. He skillfully translates the approved IPL language and funding levels 
into comprehensive work package scopes and spending plans for all participating national 
laboratories, ensuring alignment with the NE project management system (PICs).
Dr. Banerjee has also contributed to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) through 
safety analysis reviews, particularly for dose-related safety assessments of Interim Storage 
Partners and Holtec International’s consolidated interim storage facilities in Texas and 
New Mexico.
Dr. Banerjee currently supports the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Fuel Supply Technologies. 
He initiated the Uranium Fuel Supply campaign, which oversees and coordinates the 
planning, management, and technical integration of efforts conducted by DOE national 
laboratories and industry partners. The campaign aims to supply initial HALEU to the 
industry for reactor demonstration purposes and ultimately establish a commercially 
independent supply chain for both HALEU and LEU.
Previously, Dr. Banerjee led the Nuclear Material Storage, Transportation, and Logistics 
group at PNNL, as well as the Nuclear Materials Packaging, Transportation & System 
Analysis group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
