Biography
Jason Gastelum holds a BS and MS in Operations Research and has over ten years of experience in risk and decision analysis. As an officer in the US Air Force, Jason developed models to predict the effects of high power microwaves on electronics, and to predict the success of candidates in pilot training. Since joining the Energy and Environment Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 2008, Jason has applied decision and risk analyses techniques to domains including environmental remediation, commercial power plants, carbon sequestration, and the nuclear fuel market. Jason was a key contributor to a probabilistic risk assessment of TVA’s Raccoon Mountain pumped storage power plant and has contributed to several revisions NUREG 1307, which updates the waste burial costs associated with decommissioning a nuclear reactor. His other research interests include optimization using mathematical programming and discrete event simulation.
