Dr. Bill Madia, Type One Energy’s Chairman of the Board, has been a leader in research, development, and deployment of energy systems for over five decades. He recently retired as Chairman of the Board of Overseers and Vice President for the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University. Dr. Madia’s experience spans several organizations: he is a board member at Centrus Energy (NYSE:LEU)—a nuclear fuel company where he chairs the technology committee—and President of Madia & Associates, Inc., an energy consulting firm serving the needs of government, industry, and academia.
During his career at Battelle—from where he retired as Executive Vice President for Mergers and Acquisitions—he held a variety of leadership positions including Laboratory Director of both the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He was Director of Battelle’s Columbus Laboratories and President of Battelle Technology International, a multinational research organization with major laboratories in Frankfurt, Germany and Geneva, Switzerland and offices worldwide.
Dr. Madia’s nuclear energy experience spans the entire nuclear fuel cycle: He created and led the first Nuclear Fuel Cycle analysis group at Battelle, managed Battelle’s plutonium fuel fabrication laboratory and hot cell complex, developed proliferation resistant reprocessing flowsheets, and taught coursework in Nuclear Fuel Cycle technologies as an adjunct professor at the Ohio State University. He was a member of DOE’s “Blue Ribbon Panel” on the decontamination and decommissioning of the damaged Three Mile Island reactor, participated in various fusion advisory boards including Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory; provided technical support to the Chernobyl reactor stabilization and cleanup efforts; led the national screening of geologic formations as part of DOE’s High Level Nuclear Waste Disposal Program that resulted in Congress’ selection of the Yucca Mountain site, and was a member of the National Commission on Science and Security in the 21st Century.
