ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The work within was by necessity a joint effort. My thanks and appreciation goes out to all of the Idaho
National Laboratory cleanup and remediation team. This includes engineers of various disciplines,
including electrical, systems, instrument, chemical, and mechanical as well as project management. The
radioactive hot cell work was crucial in obtaining data for modeling and is much appreciated. My former
committee at the University of Idaho is very much appreciated for suggesting changes in the final
proposal/dissertation during proposal approval in 2008. My appreciation also goes out to my Greenleaf
committee for the issuance of this final dissertation. In addition, I certify that all of the work herein was
my own except design input from others as required by the project. Further, the contents have been
extensively reviewed by my dissertation committee at the University of Idaho and all comments were
incorporated as well as the officers at Greenleaf University.
