Fred Roth
For the last fifteen years, Fred Roth has been working as a technical writer and editor at a national nuclear engineering laboratory operated by the U.S. Department of Energy. During that time, he has written and edited scientific reports, journal articles, business presentations, investigation reports, audit reports, compliance manuals, policy statements, and hundreds of technical procedures (detailed instructions for operating nuclear reactors, nuclear processing equipment, etc.).
As part of his work at the laboratory, he has been trained in accident investigation, readiness evaluation, causal analysis, and proposal writing. He is extremely familiar with U.S. federal and state requirements (particularly DOE, OSHA, and EPA regulations) and has several years of experience in implementing government regulations into business documentation.
Fred also developed and taught a number of courses at the laboratory, including classes on technical writing, business writing, readiness reviews, and self-assessments.
Before his work at the laboratory, he taught composition and literature classes at Brigham Young University and at Ricks College (now called BYU-Idaho). He has a master's degree in English and a bachelor's degree in sociology.
Fred's hobbies include writing science fiction and building wooden boats.
