| Whatever the expense of improving education, it is an investment in the future we must make. Excellence costs. But in the long run mediocrity costs much more.--Glenn T. Seaborg | |
The scientific community, nay the world, is the poorer for the loss of Glenn T. Seaborg. His was a life of service to science, to education, and to his country. His contributions are well-documented and a simple list of honors bestowed would fill pages far in excess of what is allowed in this newsletter. His career spanned six decades and was productive from the beginning. Seaborg pursued his degree in the University of California system. After earning a Ph.D., Seaborg began his research career on the Berkeley campus. In the course of a five-year association, Jack Livingood and Seaborg discovered several isotopes. Medicine must thank them for iodine-131, iron-59, and cobalt-60, still used for diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy. Seaborg and Emilio Segrè discovered technetium-99m in 1938. It is a widely used isotope in diagnostic imaging. He shared with Edwin M. McMillan the 1951 Nobel Prize in chemistry for work on transuranium elements. Seaborg was honored by the codiscoverers of Element 106 who recommended that it be named "seaborgium," with the symbol Sg.
He was a member of the Manhattan Project, Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (the predecessor of today's U.S. Department of Energy) under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon (1961-1971). Seaborg also served as president for both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Chemical Society. As an advocate for science education, he established the Lawrence Hall of Science, and was a member of President Reagan's National Commission on Excellence in Education, which produced the landmark 1983 report, "A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform." He was also a primary mover behind "Great Explorations in Math and Science," a leading Internet resource for science teachers. As late as January 1998, Seaborg was asked to chair the Science Committee of the California Commission for the Establishment of Academic Content and Performance Standards.
Seaborg was also a major advocate for nuclear arms control, international cooperation in science, and conservation of natural resources. He wrote more than 500 scientific articles and numerous books including an autobiography soon to be published entitled, A Chemist in the White House: From the Manhattan Project to the End of the Cold War. He held more than 40 patents, including the only ones for chemical elements (americium and curium), and had been awarded more than 50 honorary doctoral degrees.

Two changes or additions were made to the computer code collection during the month. One new code system was packaged and added to the collection, and one code system was replaced with a newly frozen version.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed a newly frozen
version of the SAMMY code system for calculating
multilevel R-matrix fits to neutron data using Bayes'
equations. Modifications and new features of the resonance
analysis code SAMMY-M2 are documented in Revision 4 of
the SAMMY Users' Guide. Several features are designed
specifically for use with data taken at the Renssaeler
Polytechnic Institute linac. Additional options include the
treatment of backgrounds, a new resolution function, the
ability to analyze self-indication experiments, a better
multiple-scattering correction, and an option to include
paramagnetic cross sections. Other features were designed to facilitate interaction between differential
and integral data analysis: an option to calculate average cross sections with no corrections on the
theoretical values, the ability to fit directly to some types of integral data, an option to introduce
systematic data errors (and hence covariances) without having to explicitly generate the entire data
covariance matrix, and output of the resonance parameter covariance matrix in a format that should be
efficient for transmittal to other computer codes.
SAMMY-M2 runs on the IBM RS/6000 and has been ported to DEC Alpha computers under both Open/VMS and OSF1 operating systems. It also runs on personal computers under the RedHat Linux operating system. SAMMY-M2 is transmitted in tar format on either a CD-ROM or cartridge tape. References: ORNL/TM-9179 Rev. 4 (1999). Fortran; IBM RS/6000, DEC, Linux PC (P00158/IRISC/04).
Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed this code
system which provides a calendar-based scheduler for
conference rooms through the World Wide Web. The
Conference Room Reservation System (CRRS) software
allows employees to schedule conference rooms at
ORNL without calling the person who keeps a paper
log. A top level HTML page is the access to the system.
Then a series of perl scripts allow the user to reserve a
conference room, browse the list of room reservations,
or cancel a reservation. Tools are also provided to add
conference rooms to the system and to control email
notices. Customized versions have been constructed to reserve government vehicles and laboratory
instruments. CRRS must be installed on a www server. At ORNL it runs on a DEC Alpha under
Digital Unix 4.0 and requires Version 5 of Perl. It is transmitted in a Unix tar file on one 3.5-in. (1.44
MB) DOS formatted diskette. References: Informal notes (Feb. 1999). DEC Alpha; Perl

We have received several requests from SCALE users for organising the next SCALE training course in Europe. As you may know already, from 20-24 September 1999 the "International Conference on Nuclear Criticality Safety (ICNC'99)" will take place in Versailles, France; http://www.ipsn.fr/icnc99/. We have found it therefore convenient to organise this training course the week before that conference. This will facilitate both attendance in the criticality safety training course and be part of the last major event in criticality safety of this decade (sorry but I shall not use the term millennium).
We plan to hold this training course in the premises of the French National Institute for Nuclear Science and Techniques (INSTN) located about 6 miles from Versailles. The course will be given by the authors and code managers from the ORNL (http://www.cad.ornl.gov/scale).
The technical programme of the workshop has been designed by Steve Bowman, SCALE Project Leader, Computational Physics & Engineering Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (phone +1 423-574-5263, fax+1 423-576-3513, email st5@ornl.gov). An attendance certificate will be delivered at the end of the course. This course is organised in co-operation with the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC). Should you be interested in participating, please return the form by 31 December 1998. More precise information, including the exact participation fee, location, transportation and accommodation possibilities will be provided later.
