March 26, 2013

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has announced the formation of a new Fusion and Materials for Nuclear Systems Division (FMNSD). The FMNSD will be comprised of the current Fusion Energy Division and the following two groups: Nuclear Fuel Materials and Remote Systems. The Nuclear Materials Science and Technology Group of the Materials Science and Technology Division will have a matrix reporting relationship to FMNSD. This division will have programmatic responsibility for the Fusion Energy Program including materials in a fusion environment, theoretical and experimental plasma physics, and plasma enabling technologies. The division will have a close relationship with the ITER project. Additionally, this division will have leadership responsibility in areas that include: nuclear fuels and materials, the DOE Light Water Reactor Sustainability nuclear materials program, and remote systems development. Stan Milora, currently Director of the Fusion Energy Division will lead this Division on an interim basis. A national search has begun for a Director for the Fusion and Materials for Nuclear Systems Division.
