RICHLAND, Wash. – Darrell Fisher, a
radiation scientist with the Department of Energy’s Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory, has been elected president of the
Health Physics Society, a 5,000-member, internationally recognized
scientific organization of professionals who specialize in
radiation safety. 

Fisher leads the Isotope Sciences Program at PNNL, which focuses
on isotope production and applications development for government
and private industry.

Fisher has been active in the Health Physics Society for 36
years, serving as board member, treasurer, parliamentarian, and
chair of its major committees.  His three-year term includes
one year as president-elect and one year as past-president of the
society. 

“In the coming year, our professional society will continue to
seek congressional support for university teaching programs in
health physics and nuclear engineering, and federal agency support
for international standards development,” Fisher said.  We
also seek a broader role in federal policy development for nuclear
materials and waste management.”

Fisher’s term began in July at the Society’s 57th Annual Meeting
in Sacramento, Calif.  At that same meeting, PNNL health
physicist Kathy Pryor concluded her year as the society’s
president.

“Kathy provided outstanding leadership and set a high standard,”
Fisher said. “I look forward to serving and doing what I can to
help advance the society and increase its influence for the nation,
profession and membership.”

Fisher joined PNNL in 1978 after earning a master’s degree and
doctorate in nuclear engineering sciences from the University of
Florida.  He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from the
University of Utah.
