LBL Currents -- July 15, 1994

Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary visits LBL

By Mike Wooldridge, MAWooldridge@lbl.gov

Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary spent the day at LBL on June 30, participating in two high-level DOE meetings, and speaking to Lab employees outside the Advanced Light Source.

Hundreds crowded on the ALS patio under sunny skies to hear the Secretary describe a DOE future driven by ambitious young scientists who, through research and development, will expand the country's economic capabilities at home and abroad.

O'Leary also entertained a few questions from the crowd, but was interrupted after 20 minutes by a phone call from Vice President Al Gore. She later apologized for her abrupt exit, explaining that the vice president had sought her counsel regarding a close vote by Congress on an energy and water bill.

O'Leary's speech focused on the immediate innovations DOE science can provide the U.S. economy. "Our challenge is to make what we produce in the U.S. of the highest quality, the best value for the dollar, for the franc, or for the drachma spent," she said. "It is to make products that are so technically correct for the problems they attempt to solve that anyone shopping in the global marketplace is compelled to buy them."

The stressing of DOE's contribution to the country's economic success comes in a year when the Galvin Task Force, a Secretary-appointed group of industry leaders, is carefully assessing the nine multi-purpose national labs. The group's mission involves, among other things, finding ways to strengthen ties between the national labs and the private sector. The Task Force will produce a final report that is expected to chart the future of the labs.

Speaking to those who fear that the Galvin report may lead to lab closures, O'Leary said, "The Galvin Task Force is taking the time to examine the laboratories not in a way that perceives that there is something bad about them, but that there is something powerful about them. When we put all the labs in a single pot, their combined capability in science, technology and engineering is larger than any in the private sector--larger than General Motors, the largest privately owned laboratory."

During the question-and-answer period, Luciano Moretto of the Nuclear Science Division voiced concern that such an applied science emphasis might eclipse basic research. He cited the esteemed history of experimental science at LBL: "The Picassos and Matisses of science have led LBL in the past. What you are asking, perhaps, is that they become interior decorators."

O'Leary answered that measurable results from lab projects are needed now to guarantee the delivery of funds to support basic research in the future. "The public wants immediate benefits," she said. "The public doesn't want to fund what it doesn't clearly understand. We need to articulate the vision to the public that we need to make the investment in basic science, too, and that it must make a leap of faith with us on basic research."

O'Leary said she was particularly impressed by the student researchers she met during a tour of the ALS. They are testimony, she said, to the need of DOE to maintain its links with education. "We need to encourage, seduce, and outright bribe young, diverse minds to come here and do extraordinary work," she said.

Responding to an employee question, O'Leary also addressed last year's pay freeze. "If you want to blame anyone, blame me," she said. "The freeze was a necessity to prove to the public and Congress that we could manage costs. I won't put it on your back again."

Before her talk, O'Leary met in closed session with the heads of the nine national labs at the quarterly Lab Directors' Meeting. In the afternoon, she participated in a public meeting with the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB), of which the Galvin Task Force is a subcommittee.

SEAB, meeting for the second time since forming in January, reviewed the status of the Galvin Task Force and announced plans for another committee focusing on energy issues, the Yerkin Task Force.

After the SEAB meeting, O'Leary held a press conference with Bay Area reporters.

LBL SUMMER LECTURE SERIES: WEDNESDAYS AT NOON, 50 AUDITORIUM

Mary Ann Piette of the Energy Analysis Program in the Energy and Environment Division will be the second speaker in LBL's Summer Lecture Series. Her talk, "Green Buildings: Increased Energy Efficiency through Advanced Technology and Common Sense," will begin at noon on Wednesday, July 20, in the Bldg. 50 auditorium.

Buildings consume nearly 40 percent of U.S. national energy use at a cost of more than $200 billion per year. Piette's work focuses on the energy performance and cost-effectiveness of technologies, equipment, systems, and designs in new and existing buildings. She will highlight research projects at LBL that use technologies and strategies for reducing energy use in buildings. Practical suggestions for home and office will be included.

Lab employees and guests are invited to attend each of the lectures, which are listed below. For more information, contact the Public Information Department at X4015.

Work Request Center extends hours

The Facilities Work Request Center (WRC) is now staffed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The WRC will take all facilities-related inquiries and work requests and direct them to the appropriate service provider. In the next few weeks the WRC, which currently handles between 400 and 600 requests each month, will assume responsibility for additional types of requests. Watch Currents for news of these expansions in service. For more information, contact the WRC at X6274 or by fax at X6272. n

In memoriam: Warren Garrison

Warren Garrison, a radiation chemist at LBL for 30 years, died on July 3. He was 79 years old.

Garrison received his B.S. and M.S. from UC Berkeley, and his Ph.D. in photochemistry from New York University. He worked on the Manhattan Project from 1942 to 1945 before coming to LBL in 1948.

At LBL, Garrison studied the reaction mechanisms involved with the irradiation of biological molecules. From 1948 to 1961, he worked at the Crocker Laboratory, performing research at the 60-inch accelerator. He was a senior staff scientist in the Nuclear Chemistry Division from 1961 to 1975, and worked in the Materials and Molecular Science Division from 1975 to 1977. After retiring in 1977, Garrison was named Senior Staff Scientist Emeritus at LBL.

Garrison published numerous papers over his career. He served as an associate editor of Radiation Research and was on the editorial advisory board of Radiation Effects. He was chairman of the Gordon Conference on Radiation Chemistry in 1959.

He is survived by his wife Frances, sister Ann Greenleaf, son Warren Garrison Jr., and two grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 29, at the Presbyterian Church in Danville. Donations in memory of Garrison may be made to the Warren M. Garrison Memorial Fund at the Lawrence Hall of Science.

LBL PEOPLE:

Hal Anger, a researcher in the Donner Laboratory from 1946 to 1981, has received the first Cassen Prize for his achievements in nuclear medicine. In 1956, Anger developed the scintillation camera, also known as the Anger Camera, which enables physicians to detect tumors and conduct other medical diagnoses by measuring gamma rays emitted from radioactive isotopes. Anger received the award at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine in Orlando, Fla., on June 5.

Frances Ross of the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) was guest editor of the June issue of the Materials Research Society Bulletin. The issue is devoted to Materials Science in the Electron Microscope and contains articles by Ross and NCEM Director Uli Dahmen. Much of the work described was performed at NCEM.

FIREFIGHTERS GET SPECIAL TRAINING:

Eleven members of the LBL Fire Department completed extensive training to become State-certified Hazardous Materials Technicians on June 24. The 160 hours of training were provided by the Industrial Emergency Council. Those who received the training include: Captain Dick Valentine and firefighters Marc Fitzgerald, Harold Blair, Gary Dunbar, Chuck Palmer, Mike Stoner, Les Lockhart, Brad Olson, and Kirk McKenzie. They join previously trained Fire Department employees in attaining Technician rating from the State of California and California Specialized Training Institute. The training will better prepare these Lab personnel for dealing with incidents involving hazardous materials.

Signs of danger

June through October is wildland fire season, a period of increased risk of fires resulting from low rainfall, high temperatures and low humidity. The fire department will begin posting fire danger signs at the three Lab entrances when weather conditions pose an especially high risk for wild fires: when temperatures climb above 90deg.F, relative humidity drops below 20 per cent, and winds of at least 25 mph blow from the north or northeast. Such "red flag" conditions existed during the Hills Fire of October 1991.
