The winds of change are very strong. The federal laboratories have been studied and some of them have been found wanting. The most severe criticism is that many of them have outgrown their original mission; others are perceived as having diversified to such an extent as to compromise their major goals. More than one laboratory will be redirected and reorganized, hopefully for the better. The Los Alamos National Laboratory is, in my opinion, among the most fortunate because its primary mission and primary goal are clear and vital. LAMPF is triply fortunate. First, it strongly supports the national quest for excellence in science that Pete Miller alluded to awhile ago. Such excellence is absolutely crucial if Los Alamos is to fulfill its national security mission. Second. LAMPF provides unique tech- nical resources in direct support of the Los Alamos primary mission—the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility, the Proton Storage Ring (PSR). and isotope production. And third and probably most impor- tant, LAMPF is an important factor in providing the knowledge base and people base for the nuclear science Louis Rosen enterprise in this country and for the derivative tech- nologies that are so essential to industrial, defense, and medical applications. From a recent in-depth review of nuclear science in the constant between science and the way people live is a United Kingdom (and I urge all of you to have a look at very strong one. this review). I show you an interesting compilation The next 5 years will be golden ones for LAMPF in (Fig. 1). This is an amazing correlation between gross terms of the quality and quantity of research to which we national product per capita and the number of nuclear can look forward. But unless definitive and major steps physicists per capita. In all fairness I should tell you that are now initiated, the ability of LAMPF to continue to if you substitute scientists for nuclear physicists, you fulfill its mission during the 1990s will be in serious would probably get the same correlation.

In 1987, these issues rose to become part of the public agenda. The debate involves science, technol- ogy, and politics. Congress is responsible for ‘(writing the rules” of what various Federal agencies do and for funding their work. This report surveys the points made so far in the debate, focusing on those that most directly influence the policy options facing the U.S. Congress, The House Committee on Energy and Commerce requested that OTA undertake the project. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natu- ral Resources also asked OTA to address specific points of concern to them. Congres- sional interest focused on several issues: ● how to assess the rationales for conducting human genome projects, ● how to fund human genome projects (at what level and through which mech- anisms), ● how to coordinate the scientific and technical programs of the several Federal agencies and private interests already supporting various genome projects, and ● how to strike a balance regarding the impact of genome projects on international scientific cooperation and international economic competition in biotechnology.

  • US Neutron Facility Development in the Last Half-Century: a Cautionary Tale
    Phys. Perspect. Ó 2015 The Author(s). This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com DOI 10.1007/s00016-015-0158-8 Physics in Perspective US Neutron Facility Development in the Last Half-Century: A Cautionary Tale John J. Rush* Large multi-user facilities serve many thousands of researchers in fields from particle physics to fundamental biology. The great expense—up to billions of current-day dollars— and the complexity of such facilities required access to extensive engineering and research infrastructures, most often found at national laboratories and the largest research univer- sities. Although the development of such facilities has been largely successful and the research results unique and often spectacular, the processes for choosing, funding, and locating them were complex and not always productive. In this review, I describe the troubled efforts over the past fifty years to develop neutron research facilities in the United States. During this period, the US has moved from a preeminent position in neutron-based science to a lesser status with respect to Europe. Several major US centers of excellence have been shut down and replaced with more focused capabilities. I compare the US efforts in neutron facilities with parallel developments in Europe and Asia, discuss the reasons for this state of affairs, and make some suggestions to help prevent similar consequences in the future. Key words: neutron research; national laboratories; Department of Energy; National Institute of Standards and Technology; research reactors; spallation neutron sources; Institut Laue-Langevin; National Academy of Sciences. Introduction A major element in the great expansion both of US and international science since the Second World War has been the development of large multi-user facilities to serve many thousands of researchers around the world with applications in almost all fields, ranging from particle physics to fundamental biology.

  • Human Genome Project
    Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.[1] It remains the world's largest collaborative biological project.[2] After the idea was picked up in 1984 by the US government when the planning started, the project formally launched in 1990 and was declared complete in 2003[3]. Funding came from the US government through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well as numerous other groups from around the world. A parallel project was conducted outside government by the Celera Corporation, or Celera Genomics, which was formally launched in 1998. Most of the government-sponsored sequencing was performed in twenty universities and research centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Logo HGP; Vitruvian Man, Leonardo Germany, Spain and China.[4] da Vinci The Human Genome Project originally aimed to map the nucleotides contained in a human haploid reference genome (more than three billion). The "genome" of any given individual is unique; mapping the "human genome" involved sequencing a small number of individuals and then assembling these together to get a complete sequence for each chromosome. Therefore, the finished human genome is a mosaic, not representing any one individual. Contents Human Genome Project History State of completion Applications and proposed

  • International Partnerships in Large Science Projects (July 1995)
    International Partnerships in Large Science Projects July 1995 OTA-BP-ETI-150 GPO stock #052-003-01419-0 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, International Partnerships in Large Science Projects, OTA-BP-ETI-150 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, July 1995). oreword ederal investment in research and development (R&D) has been crucial to many of the nation’s achievements in basic sciences. In recent years, however, budgetary pressures have made it difficult to sustain ongoing government R&D efforts and to initiate new ventures. These pressures and the growing international character of scientific research have focused greater attention on the potential con- tributions of international cooperation, particularly for large-scale, long- term science projects. The United States has several decades of experience with internation- al scientific collaborations. Numerous successful small-scale scientific cooperative efforts, largely through bilateral agreements, have been con- ducted. High-energy physics, fusion energy, and space are rich with ex- amples of this type of cooperation. However, U.S. experience in the joint construction and operation of large-scale experiments and facilities is far more limited. This background paper, requested by the Chairman and Ranking Mi- nority Member of the House Committee on Science, reviews U.S. expe- rience with collaborative projects in many different fields and their im- plications for future activities. It assesses the factors that facilitate international partnerships in big science projects and those that, con- versely, favor the pursuit of purely national projects. The background pa- per also reviews and identifies several important issues to consider in structuring future collaborations.

  • Alvin Trivelpiece: Making ORNL a Better Place (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on March 17, 2014)
    Alvin Trivelpiece: Making ORNL a better place (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on March 17, 2014) Carolyn Krause concludes her look back at Alvin Trivelpiece who was the Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1989 to 2000, or 11 years. This makes him the director who had the third longest tenure of his leadership. Ahead of Trivelpiece in length of tenure was Herman Postma with 14 years and Alvin Weinberg with 18 years. Thom Mason, the present director of the laboratory, is already the director with the fourth longest tenure with seven years. Carolyn draws on an oral history interview by Steve Stow. Enjoy the rest of the story about Alvin Trivelpiece. … When Alvin Trivelpiece became director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory on Jan. 1, 1989, his goal was “to leave the place better off than I found it.” “What brought you to Oak Ridge?” asked Steve Stow, who interviewed Trivelpiece on April 5, 2003, as part of ORNL’s oral history project. “United Airlines,” Trivelpiece joked. He noted that his compensation as director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Research and then executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science had not improved his financial status in the Washington, D.C. area. The duties of the ORNL job, he added, “were more consistent with my background and training.” The wealth of experience he gained from his work for the federal government included knowledge about scientific facilities and funding realities. While at the Department of Energy in the 1980’s, he planned numerous major facilities to house state-of-the-art X-ray, electron and neutron sources for the national laboratories to keep them viable.
