He was Technical Director and subsequently Vice President of Nuclear Fuel Services where he was involved in the development of processes for fabrication of nuclear fuel (commercial, naval, and test reactor) and specialty nuclear products, and in the transportation and reprocessing of BWR, PWR, HTGR, and NPR fuels (1957-1967). Since 1967 he has been a senior officer (President and Chairman) of JAI Corporation involved in studies related to design of processes and facilities in the various steps of the nuclear fuel cycle, waste management, transportation, safeguards and security, safety and licensing, and economic analysis -- serving clients worldwide. During 1970-1975 he also was President of Nuclear Chemicals and Metals Corporation, which processed thorium nitrate into oxide and metal.

Mr. Johnson joined INMM in about 1961, became a Senior Member in about 1983, and a Fellow of the Institute in 1986.
