Dr. Bettina Grauel is a project engineer in the Nuclear Services business line.
She has extensive experience in planning and consulting services in radiation protection and in all aspects related to clearance procedures. She also works as a project manager in various areas of the Nuclear Services business line. A major part of her work involves technical discussions with operators and authorities.
Ms. Grauel’s expertise covers activity determination and statistical evaluation. She also has many years of experience in Monte Carlo simulations and numerical analysis of activity dispersion. A major focus is the careful processing and precise visual presentation of data. As a career changer, she often comes up with unconventional or out-of-the box approaches to bring projects to a successful conclusion.
Her customer base is chiefly made up of owners and operators of nuclear facilities and authorities.
In 2021 and 2022, Ms. Grauel was involved in a project for the planning of a waste disposal measurement laboratory. Her responsibilities included estimating the number of laboratory measurements to be expected in the course of building clearance and, as a result, the number and quality of the required measuring stations. The layout planning under consideration of the permissible floor loads and variant comparisons and feasibility studies also belonged to her tasks.
Ms. Grauel studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin, where she earned her Master of Science in Physics, specializing in quantum field theory. After that, Ms. Grauel also earned her PhD from Humboldt University in Berlin and her Doctor of Science degree in physics, specializing in biophotonics.
