NMT People

Deborah Pudell, a chemistry and mathematics teacher at Laker High School in Pigeon, Michigan, assisted Jerry Foropoulos of NMT-6 in his work on the destruction of volatile chlorocarbons. Her eight-week stay under the DOE/LANL TRAC program gave Pudell a wealth of information for her classroom and a unique opportunity to contribute to research at TA-55.

Heather Hawkins has been working at TA-55 in the stabilization of solid residues since July 1 this year. She is a graduate student at the Pennsylvania State University's Materials Research Laboratory. Nicholas Coppa of NMT-6 is serving as her thesis advisor.

Laura Linford, a graduate student in humanities at the Florida State University, has been assisting Chief Scientist K. C. Kim with the division's Science and Technology Assessment since May 15 this year.

A team of some twenty Russian scientists and engineers toured the Los Alamos Plutonium Facility on August 16. The tour was arranged as part of the "Workshop on Non-Reactor Nuclear Safety and Waste Management," held at Los Alamos under the sponsorship of the U. S. Government. The group toured the following laboratory areas: 238Pu fabrication, hydride-dehydride process, MOX fuel fabrication, nondestructive assay, and aqueous processing of Pu residues. This is the second time within a year that a Russian delegation has visited TA-55.
