Bob Rucker
He earned an MS degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, US. He then worked in the nuclear industry for 38 years doing nuclear core analysis of nuclear
reactors, statistical analysis of nuclear measurements, and criticality safety calculations for nuclear fuel production and handling. In this process, he wrote 41 peer-reviewed documents for US nuclear
agencies. Robert has been researching the Shroud since 2014, including nuclear analysis computer calculations to solve the carbon dating problem for the Shroud, and organized an international conference
on the Shroud in 2017.
His papers on the Shroud are available on the research page of his website www.shroudresearch.net. Robert was recently invited to give a keynote address on the Shroud at a three-day technical conference
sponsored by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (www.asnt.org). This presentation, titled “Overview of the Shroud of Turin to Promote Testing”, was delivered at the conference to enlist
participation in preparing a testing plan the next phase of testing of the Shroud of Turin, which hopefully could take place in 2025. The paper documenting this presentation is available as
paper #32 at
