Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee

Today, californium can be made only in small amounts. It is available from the U.S. government via the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. 

The core of a nuclear reactor located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories In Tennessee. 

In June 1946, President Truman signed an executive order that made reartor-produced iodine-131 and other radionuclides available from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. On August 2,1946, the first shipment of carbon-14 was made to Martin Kamen at the Lawrence Laboratory in Berkeley, California. The shipment was kept secret because Kamen was falsely suspected by many of the public to be a communist. The first announced shipment to a medical facility was to the Bermard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital at Washington University in St. Louis. 

Jaguar supercomputer The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee is home to Jaguar, the world s fastest supercomputer, the peak speed of which is 2.33 quadrillion floating point operations per second. 

One of the largest Van de Graaff-type accelerators is the Holifield Heavy Ion Accelerator at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. It uses 0.7 MPa of SFe as an insulating gas. With this machine a dc voltage of 34 MV was achieved. A view of this electrostatic tandem-type heavy ion accelerator is shown in Fig. 11. 

Some of the better studied sites contaminated with Sr and Cs include (i) The Nitrate Disposal Pit at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory in Ontario, Canada (ii) The A Disposal area at Chalk River the 100-K and 100-N area at the Hanford Site in Washington the 200 East area at Hanford, the 600 area at Hanford the Maxey Flats Low Level Waste (LLW) Site in Kentucky the West Valley LLW Site in New York, the Sheffield LLW Site in Illinois and the Barnwell LLW site in South Carolina. Barnwell is the only active LLW disposal site among those listed above. Surface water and soil contamination by Sr and Cs exists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. There also is an apparently stable Sr plume at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. 

In order to qualify coatings for use in nuclear power plants, suppliers must prepare test specimens of the candidate systems and submit them to test agencies having equipment that can simulate Class 1 and 2 conditions. The Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is one agency used by most suppliers. 

This book stems from the work done in the group of Professor Georges Guio-chon at the University of Tennessee and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the late 1980 s, 1990 s and early 2000 s. It contains the many contributions of the students, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scientists who came from all over the world to East Termessee to contribute to the advancement of this field. Their contributions add to those of the many scientists who have worked in this area over the last sixty years and have produced innumerable, valuable publications.

Sheng Dai, leader of Nanomaterials Chemistry Group and senior research scientist at Chemical Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and adjunct professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK), received his PhD in chemistry from UTK in 1990. He has authored or coauthored more than 180 peer-reviewed journal or book publications. He currently holds five U.S. patents. His research interest includes chemical synthesis of novel materials, separation, catalysis, sensor development, and molecular recognition. Many of these publications are in the area of ionic liquids. 

William J. Rogers, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Tennessee, is supported in thesis work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by an appointment to the Laboratory Graduate Participation Program, administered by Oak Ridge Associated Universities for the Department of Energy. 

C.A. Arrhenius, in 1787, noted an unusual black mineral in a quarry near Ytterby. Sweden, This was identified later as containing yttrium and rare-earth oxides. With the exception of promethium, all members of the Lanthanide Series had been discovered by 1907, when lutetium was isolated. In 1947. scientists at the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Tennessee) produced atomic number 61 from uranium fission products and named it promethium. No stable isotopes of promethium have been found in the earth s crust.
