Dr. Charles G. Interrante received a B.S. (1959), M.S. (1962), and Ph.D. (1963) in Metallurgical Engineering from Lehigh University. Dr. Interrante served in the U.S. Army during 1963 to 1965 as Training Officer of Frankford Arsenal and Research Metallurgist, Pitman-Dunn Laboratories, working on aluminum alloy castings. He was a Senior Research Metallurgist at the U.S. Steel Research Laboratory (1965 to 1970). During 1970-1985, Dr. Interrante worked in NIST's Metallurgy and Fracture and Deformation Divisions where he researched the behavior of railroad tank-car plate materials, fracture control plans, and determinations of critical flaw sizes; with the Welding Research Council, on accelerated failure due to hydrogen in steels; and development of Standard Reference Material NIBS SRM 485, which contains austenite in a ferrite matrix, produced as a powder compaction and certified using quantitative metallography and x-ray fluorescence methods. During 1985-1989, Dr. Interrante managed NIST's program on Evaluation and Compilation of DOE Waste Package Test Data, under sponsorship of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Since 1990, he has served as a Senior Metallurgical Engineer at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, working in the Waste Management Division and the Spent Fuel Project Office. He manages metallurgical engineering programs and projects related to temporary storage and permanent repository disposal of nuclear waste.
His professional affiliations include ACerS, ASM, ASTM, AWS, ISO, MPC, MRS, Sigma Xi, WRC- PVRC and the Washington Academy of Science. He has been honored with a number of awards, including citations for work on pressure-vessel steels, fracture control, environmental effects and technical terminology. He is a fellow of the ASM International, has served as chairman of the Washington D.C. Chapter of ASM International, of various ASTM technical subcommittees and task groups, and for numerous sessions at meetings. He has published about 100 technical articles and book chapters.
