Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., and I2M’s EVP and Chief Geologist/Chief Hydrogeologist, announced today the release of a new review of paper as part of I2M’s program to review biased media reports or otherwise faulty articles in the press and other types of media and reports, see Review #28, These reports come from the national media, film producers, national and local adversarial groups, local citizens groups and the attorneys who represent them, all of whom are anti-nuclear power, anti-uranium mining, and/or are wind or solar energy proponents, or attorneys who represent any or all of them.

After many years of reviewing such reports, articles, etc produced by the media, the general consensus of the I2M personnel is that they many seem to exhibit many shortcomings in common in terms of underlying agenda. I2M personnel review and comment on articles selected through a process involving at least three and perhaps additional I2M Associates and selected members of the EMD UCOM, and to publish their collective reviews on the I2M Associates’ Biased Media Report as an educational contribution to geoscientists worldwide, regulatory agency personnel, and to the general public. For a more detailed discussion of the I2M program objectives, see (more).

In 2012, I2M’s Chief Hydrogeologist, Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., was selected to provide a hydrogeological assessment involved in the groundwater policy issues regarding the historical movement of the groundwater plume consisting of TCE and Tc-99 behind the DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky. The report of investigations has just been cleared for release (see I2M case history). The Oak Ridge Associated Universities management thanked Mr. Campbell for his contributions (Report, and page 57).

I2M’s President announced this morning that the I2M expansion continues with the appointment of James L. Conca, Ph.D. to the growing group of senior management Associates. Dr. Conca specializes in energy selection and environmental impact. Mr. Bost said that he is especially pleased that Dr. Conca has joined I2M in laying the foundation for a major expansion in the near future based on a business philosophy of organic growth and acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures.
