DOE awards $2.7B for HALEU and LEU enrichment
Yesterday, the Department of Energy announced that three enrichment services companies have been awarded task orders worth $900 million each. Those task orders were given to American Centrifuge Operating (a Centrus Energy subsidiary) and General Matter, both of which will develop domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, along with Orano Federal Services, which will build domestic LEU enrichment capacity.
The DOE also announced that it has awarded Global Laser Enrichment an additional $28 million to continue advancing next generation enrichment technology.
The John Randall Memorial Scholarship was established by the Fuel Cycle and Waste Management Division in November of 1993 for students pursuing graduate studies in the areas of science and engineering related to the nuclear fuel cycle and radioactive waste management.
In 2013, the award was renamed the Fuel Cycle and Waste Management Division John Randall Scholarship.
Dr. John D. Randall (1932 – 1992) was born in Whittier, California. He received a Bachelor’s degree in engineering physics and a Master’s degree in engineering science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1955 and 1956, respectively. He received his doctorate in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M University in 1965.
Dr. Randall was the Deputy Commissioner and the Executive Director of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Program for the state of New York. He was a former professor of nuclear engineering at Texas A&M, where he directed the Nuclear Science Center from 1958 to 1983.
He was a fellow of the American Nuclear Society and a recipient of the Society’s Exceptional Service Award. During 1991-1992, Dr. Randall served as national chairman of the Society’s Fuel Cycle & Waste Management Division and its Honors & Awards Committee. He was also a member of the Health Physics Society.
Dr. Randall passed on December 10, 1992, at 60 years of age.
