Mr. Millage specializes in modeling the environments associated with radiological and nuclear weapons and the effects on humans and physical systems. He has extensive experience in nuclear weapon effects and calculating radiation environments and has been instrumental in improving the radiation dose calculations in DTRA’s Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC). He has developed models to help predict the effects of an urban detonation of a nuclear weapon and is applying the models to nuclear weapon forensics applications.

Prior to coming to ARA, Mr. Millage provided technical support to DTRA for their development efforts on human response algorithms and radiation dosimetry calculations in HPAC. He also provided support for an independent verification and evaluation (IVE) of the HPAC nuclear weapon incident model.

Mr. Millage has over 24 years of technical and leadership experience in radiation and health physics, in both operational and research and development environments. He was also responsible for leading a 22-person operational health physics staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He is the co-author on two patents for medical devices. Mr. Millage served as an officer in the US Air Force for 8 years. He performed radiation detection and measurements with the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) McClellan Central Laboratory and was the Air Force lead on a Phase I nuclear warhead concept study.

Mr. Millage is a member of the American Nuclear Society, Health Physics Society, Radiation Research Society, and American Associates of Physicists in Medicine
