Newsmakers

Fellows Prize: David Clark (NMT-DO) is one of three technical staff members named 2000 Lab Fellows Prize winners. The Fellows Prize recognizes high-quality published research in science and engineering having a significant impact on a particular field or discipline. Clark was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the molecular behavior and solution chemistry of actinide ions. Recipients of the award received a $3,000 check and a certificate from Director John Browne.

High school talk: As part of NMT's outreach activities, Derek Gordon (NMT-14) recently gave a talk on nuclear energy to juniors at St. Michael's High School in Santa Fe. His talk covered the Los Alamos ARIES program and the current U.S.­Russia collaborations on weapons dismantlement and the use of mixed-oxide fuels.

Pollution Prevention Award: A team from NMT-9 has earned a 2000 Pollution Prevention Award from the Lab's Environmental Stewardship office for its development of an improved process to isolate plutonium oxide from scraped fuel. Plutonium-238 is used in heat sources and heat units for NASA deep-space missions. The innovation has cut the recovery waste stream by more than 75 percent and is helping the Lab move closer to meeting the DOE's 2005 pollution prevention goals. Team members include. Gerald Allethauser, Jason Brock, Amy Ecclesine, Paul Moniz, Jonetta Nixon, Maria Pansoy-Hjelvik, Kevin Ramsey, Mary Ann Reimus, Mary Remerowski, and Gary Silver.
