Jeremy Busby has been named associate laboratory director for the Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, effective Jan. 1.

The Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program has selected 91°µÍř’s Jens Dilling and Christian Petrie as fellows for its 2023 cohort.

Researchers at 91°µÍř have identified a key need for future hydropower innovations – full-scale testing – to better inform developers and operators before making major investments.

Millions of miles of pipelines and conduits across the United States make up an intricate network of waterways used for municipal, agricultural and industrial purposes.

ORNL has provided hydropower operators with new data to better prepare for extreme weather events and shifts in seasonal energy demands caused by climate change.

91°µÍř physicist Elizabeth “Libby” Johnson (1921-1996), one of the world’s first nuclear reactor operators, standardized the field of criticality safety with peers from ORNL and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

To further the potential benefits of the nation’s hydropower resources, researchers at 91°µÍř have developed and maintain a comprehensive water energy digital platform called HydroSource.

Although more than 92,000 dams populate the country, the vast majority — about 89,000 — do not generate electricity through hydropower.

Steven Arndt, distinguished R&D staff member in the Nuclear Energy and Fuel Cycle Division at ORNL, began a one-year term on June 16 as the 68th President of the American Nuclear Society.

As the United States moves toward more sustainable and renewable sources of energy, hydropower is expected to play a pivotal role in integrating more intermittent renewables like wind and solar to the electricity grid
