He began his career teaching at the University of Basel. He subsequently held positions with CIBA Limited in Switzerland and Eurochemic in Belgium.

Dr. Rometsch is no stranger to the INNM having last addressed the Institute at our sixteenth Annual meeting in New Orleans in 1975. Dr. Rometsch: I want to thank the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management for inviting me to come to Washington to discuss with you some of the major issues in the area of international safeguards. The particular topic on which I would like to focus, namely the interrelation or the interface between IAEA safeguards and the nuclear industry, was suggested by Bob Keep in.
