Wie is Neil Chapman:

Professor Neil A. Chapman graduated in Geology from the University of Durham in 1971 and completed his PhD on high-pressure and temperature petrology at the University of Edinburgh in 1974.

Since 1977 he has worked principally in the field of radioactive waste management, mainly in the UK, but also with long spells in Italy and in Switzerland, where he is now based. He joined the UK programme on high-level waste disposal at its inception, working with the Institute of Geological Sciences, based at UKAEA Harwell and worked on all the UK geological disposal projects (HLW, ILW and LLW), eventually managing the overall input of the British Geological Survey to the UK and EC programmes when he ran the Fluid Processes Research Group at BGS, in Nottinghamshire. From 1990 he managed the Geosciences Group of the consulting company QuantiSci and moved to Switzerland in 1999.

He is presently an independent consultant as well as acting as the Programme Director for the Arius association (promoting regional repository concepts, mainly in Europe) and Chairman of the ITC School of Underground Waste Storage and Disposal, an association with over fifty members worldwide, dedicated to propagating knowledge in this area. For the last ten years he has also been Professor of Environmental Geology at the University of Sheffield. He has acted as consultant or adviser to most national waste management programmes over the last 25 years and to international organisations such as the IAEA and the OECD-NEA.

At present, he is particularly involved in the growing Japanese HLW repository programme. He has written or co-authored eight books and over 150 papers on radioactive waste management.
