Michael Kelly, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, will assess how flexible-inflatable wave energy converters perform relative to their rigid counterparts when coupled with traditional, high-efficiency power take-off systems.

While working on master's and doctoral degrees at Oregon State University, Ali Trueworthy will develop a user-centered design methodology for high-performance wave energy devices during her fellowship.

EM’s success in its new cleanup era is dependent on constructive relationships with regulators and stakeholders, Acting EM Assistant Secretary William “Ike” White told members of the National Governors Association Federal Facilities Task Force last week.

Once home to a massive power plant and oil tanks, the former Powerhouse Area at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) is now a clean, grassy field primed for future recreational use.

EM’s use of repurposed, Cold War-era hot cells at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site continues to pay big dividends by allowing workers to address some of the most challenging waste types at the Idaho Cleanup Project.

EM’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team recently finished the final phase of jobsite roadway and parking lot paving work for Hanford’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) facilities.

EM hiring managers and workforce management recruiters at the Hanford Site recently participated in two national virtual career fairs to interact with potential employees.

Two major EM contractors at the Savannah River Site received high marks from a recent independent audit of their environmental management system.

Scientists used a type of “soft” X-ray to probe organic structures, allowing them to locate and identify different structural components.
