2014 – DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) launched the Advanced Manufacturing Internship program. Twenty-four participants, which included 14 veterans, three active duty military personnel, two reservists and five civilians, were recruited by ORISE and attended classes at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee. They received hands-on training at the DOE Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL and carbon fiber composites training at the Science & Technology Park on ORNL’s main campus.

2014 – ORISE experts provided independent environmental assessments for DOE and NRC, including conducting independent verification surveys of DOE’s remediation efforts at East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP), formerly the Oak Ridge K-25 Site.

2014 – REAC/TS deployed a medical physician and health physicist to DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, after some workers were accidentally exposed to radioactive waste. The REAC/TS experts provided counsel on and evaluated the dose assessment programs being conducted to determine how much radiation the workers had been exposed to during the incident. Based on the assessment results, the affected workers did not need treatment for internal radiation contamination.

2014 – The Fifth International REAC/TS Symposium on the

Medical Basis for Radiation-Accident Preparedness attracted nearly 200 participants from 18 countries.

2014 – ORISE is honored by DOE with its “Legacy of Stars” award for outstanding safety and health performance. Only 10 such awards were granted nationwide and it was the third consecutive award for ORISE.

2014 – National security experts, through ORISE, provided planning and evaluation support for Urban Shield, a full-scale regional training exercise for the DHS Domestic Nuclear Detection Office. Thirty-five SWAT teams participated.

2014 – ORISE coordinated peer reviews for five DOE-SC program offices totaling more than $646 million in potential federal funding awards.

2014 – ORISE placed 8,896 students, recent graduates, postdoctoral researchers and faculty in workforce development programs.
