Frank Kitching started his career in nuclear emergency preparedness as the Nuclear Safety Officer (NSO) for Canadian Forces Base Halifax. As the NSO, Frank developed that plans required to safely host nuclear powered vessels of the USA, the UK and France. The NSO position requires a Masters in Nuclear Engineering, which Frank obtained from the Royal Military College of Canda in 2004. Since retiring from the Navy in 2008, Frank has participated in the conduct of nuclear emergency preparedness training and exercises in Canada and internationally. While working for International Safety Research (now Calian Nuclear), Frank's expertise was used to develop, deliver and evaluate full scale exercises in Canada and Romania. Frank was the project manager for Exercise Unified Response, a three day exercise at Ontario Power Generation's Darlington's Nuclear Generating Station. ExUR involved all levels of government and was a true full scale exercise. During the planning process for ExUR, Frank developed a media simulation tool and an exercise control tool that were necessary to fully engage the exercise participants in the reality of dealing with a situation of that scope. These same tools were used in Romania's full scale exercise, Valahia 2016, as funded by Norway Grants and delivered through the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority. In addition to the media tool, a radiological simulation tool was used to create the radiation environment for responders on the ground in Romania. This tool provides responders with a radiological reading based on their GPS coordinates and the time within the scenario.
