"Researchers developed a model framework that identifies ways to ensure wildlife can safely navigate their habitats while not unduly affecting infrastructure.
The project centered on the 32,000-acre Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee, home to Department of Energy facilities and several at-risk species like the four-toed salamander".

Scientists in China are now building on the same basic MSR technology developed at ORNL. The Chinese gov’t had a small, short-lived knowledge exchange program with ORNL. But most of the…intellectual property…is in the public domain.

“The real data mine is the thousands of published reports in 1960s and '70s that are found in the open literature," Forsberg says.

I worked on a project in #oakridge... fun fact, they have some of the highest usage for meth in the south. At least... they did when I worked out there. #Uraniumfire contained at #Y12NationalSecurityComplex in #OakRidgeTennessee https://www.wate.com/news/tennessee/uranium-fire-contained-at-y-12-national-security-complex-in-oak-ridge/

🚨#BREAKING: Major response is underway after a compound of uranium is on fire at the Y-12 National Security Complex

Currently, a major response is underway as multiple emergency crews are responding to a uranium fire at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Y-12 complex has confirmed that the material involved in the fire was a compound of uranium officials say the public is not in any danger.

Officials are stating "the situation is under control and there is no cause for alarm." This being the third major issue in as many weeks, this time including actual nuclear material. While details are still forthcoming, the frequency of these events is alarming.

#DOE's #OakRidge #NationalLaboratory has developed a utility-scale #solar and storage project that can provide power to both AC and DC high-voltage lines. Project is called MARS “multi-port autonomous reconfigurable solar power plant” –here’s how it works https://bit.ly/3QWlIUx

Do we ever need more courageous people like this speaking up for our EARTH!

I’m a #Scientist Who Spoke Up About #ClimateChange. My Employer #Fired Me.

Shortly after the New Year, I was #fired from #OakRidge #NationalLaboratory after urging fellow #scientists to take action on #climatechange
I used to be a well-behaved scientist. I stood quietly on #meltingpermafrost in Utqiagvik, Alaska, and measured how much #greenhousegas was released into the atmosphere.

https://oakridgetoday.com/tag/d-ray-smith/ My first office was in that concrete enclosure. “A small section of the Bus Terminal Road building that still had historic artifacts—two holding cells and a heavy, bulletproof steel door—remained standing, surrounded by demolition…it had been a secure federal communications center and was built to be safe from attack. That small section of the building, which had no external windows, was reported to have a concrete ceiling that was one foot thick.” #OakRidge #Tennessee

@cautionwip I lived in #GreaterVancouver for a while (#WhiteRock and later #Oakridge), and I found a lot to love about the big city and a lot that made me also appreciate the sleepy towns.
