Society Awards and Honors
2004 Fellowships
Don Bihl and Bruce Napier Named Fellows of Health Physics Society
The honorees were recognized in July at the HPS annual meeting in Washington, D.C., for their outstanding contributions to health physics.
Bihl operated the internal dosimetry program at DOE's Hanford Site in Washington State between 1989 and 2002. The program included performing internal radionuclide dose evaluations for thousands of staff on the Site. Bihl further managed the external dosimetry program for two other DOE sites. He presently consults for those two programs and works on the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health dose reconstruction project. He earned a bachelor’s degree in health physics in 1971 and a master’s degree in 1973, both from San Diego State University. Bihl has published more than 20 reports and publications.
