Divyesh Trivedi is an NNL Research Fellow in contaminated land remediation with a PhD in Geochemistry from the University of Bath.
Divyesh joined BNFL in 1986, and is a technical specialist in the field of site geochemistry, environmental radiochemistry and remediation in support of contaminated land and waste disposal risk assessments.
Over the past 24 years he has taken a leading technical role in a variety of projects, such as the 2002 Drigg Post-Closure Safety Case and several contaminated land projects, his experience ranging from experimental and field monitoring work through to conceptual model development and fate and transport modelling. In recent times his interests include background radioactivity in soils and waters, the chemistry of contaminated land, remedial technologies applied to contaminated land sites and assessments of ecological risk.
He has extensive experience of national and international collaborative experience, for instance having developed collaborative programmes with the USDOE Savannah River and Oak Ridge sites and participated as BNFL representative on several NEA projects.
For three years he was the chairman of the Network for industrially contaminated land in Europe (NICOLE) which is the leading industrial forum for contaminated land issues in Europe.
