Hi All Members

I've been lurking through the forum threads (as a guest) and I really enjoy the depth of discussions that arise, even to the most basic of questions.

I'm a Physicist from South Africa, 1st degree was Chem Eng, post grad was/is Physics. Been working in the nuclear industry for 5 years, as an engineer and more recently reactor physicist. Currently also a researcher focusing on Radioactive Ion Beams.

Looking forward to my stay here :)
