Dade Moeller Announces Its Newest Certified Health Physicist, Michael Talmadge
RICHLAND, Wash. (PRWEB) January 15, 2015 -- Leading health physics radiation safety firm Dade Moeller is pleased to announce that its already impressive cadre of certified health physicists has expanded by one for a new total of 35. Michael C. Talmadge, based in Acton, Mass., is the company’s newest certified health physicist. Dade Moeller employs more certified health physicists than any other private company in the United States.
Talmadge successfully passed Part II of the annual certification exam administered by the American Board of Health Physics in July 2014.

To demonstrate the level of difficulty of the exam, of the 89 Part II examinees in 2014, 28 passed.
A Dade Moeller employee since 2009, Talmadge primarily supports the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Radiation Dose Reconstruction Project. In addition to his work for Dade Moeller, he is a medical radiation safety officer and an assistant clinical professor in radiology at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.
