Effective January 11, 1999, Dr. Stanley L. Milora will be the Director of the Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He succeeds Dr. Mike Saltmarsh who will retire from the Laboratory February 1.

Stan received a B.S in Aerospace Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 1967 and a Ph.D.from MIT in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1972. He came to ORNL in 1972 as a staff member in the Reactor Division. Since then his experience has included the application of non-aqueous fluids to low temperature power conversion cycles, experimental and theoretical work on the interaction of hydrogenic fuel pellets in high temperature plasmas, and development of fusion plasma fueling systems and their implementation on fusion experiments both in the domestic and international fusion programs. Since 1994 he has been head of the Fusion Energy Division's Technology Section, which conducts R&D on plasma heating and fueling systems and applications of other technologies to areas outside of fusion research.

We wish Stan every success in his new position and Mike good times in his retirement.
