About The Author

Charley Pearson retired after a career with the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (a.k.a. Naval Reactors), overseeing chemical and radiological environmental remediation at closing facilities following the end of the Cold War, releasing them for unrestricted future use with EPA and state agreement. Other deeds included creating a lay-up protocol for ships going into extended maintenance periods that saved the Navy tens of millions of dollars in later rust-removal efforts. Upon retirement, awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration silver medal, the Navy’s Superior Public Service Medal, and what insiders jokingly refer to as “the vaunted NR plaque.” Charley can be found at charleypearson.com (includes contact information). And if you know of anyone having a mind to write something themselves, that site includes a “Writer Aids” page with many suggestions and links to the advice of others. Hope it helps!
