On May 11-14, 1999, NMT Division held its Science and Technology Assessment (also called the "Division Review") at the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center and TA-55. This year's topics included pollution prevention, analytical chemistry, separations science, materials science, and nuclear materials management. In addition, there were 43 poster papers covering a broad range of NMT's scientific and technological activities.

On May 11 the Division Review Committee (see Figure 1) met with Laboratory and NMT management for an executive opening session, which was followed by morning overview sessions presented by Nuclear Weapons Directorate Deputy James A. Mercer-Smith and NMT Division Director Bruce Matthews. The afternoon session covered topics such as facilities and infrastructure, NMT's major programs, and personnel and collaborations.
For the next day and a half, the committee listened to a number of presentations, including an update from the Seaborg Institute; an overview of analytical chemistry; highlights from separations science actitivities, materials science, and nuclear materials management; and an overview of waste treatment, environmental compliance, and pollution prevention.
Two awards were presented at the NMT Annual Division Review on Thursday, May 13, 1999. Gordon Jarvinen was presented with the 1999 R.D. Baker Award in Science and Technology, and Diedra Yearwood received the 1999 William J. Maraman Award for Excellence in Facility Operations.
