Some of this week's stories

Innovative ceramic wins R&D 100 award

The ceramic membrane has received an R&D 100 award, given annually by R&D Magazine to the "100 most significant technical products of the year." It was the winner of a Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for excellence in technology transfer in 1994.

The technology takes advantage of a new ceramic material, which selectively removes oxygen from air under high-temperature processing applications.

By providing pure oxygen at lower cost, the new ceramic material promises to reduce the cost of converting natural gas to synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which is used as building blocks for many chemicals and alternative fuels. Synthesis gas is an important starting material for producing alternative fuels, pollution reducing fuel additives and many industrial chemicals.

The ceramic material could also help the environment by reducing the burning of fossil fuels now required to convert natural gas into synthesis gas.

A simple device based on the new ceramic materials to produce oxygen will also help reduce sulfur and nitrogen-oxide emissions from flue gases and help to make utility boilers, diesel and other engines burning with new alternative fuels and additives derived from natural gas. Worldwide, only 1/70th of all natural gas used in 1994 was converted to liquid fuel.

Development of the ceramic was carried out under a three-year, $2.5 million cooperative research program between Amoco and Argonne and was jointly funded by Amoco and the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Office of Energy Research-Laboratory Technology Transfer Program.

Director thanks senior staff for warm reception

"I was deeply touched by their warmth and generosity, and I thank them for it," said Schriesheim. "It has been a true pleasure to serve as director of this laboratory, and my wife Bea and I are proud to have been part of this team."

Schriesheim announced that he will retire July 1, 1996 after 12 years as the laboratory's chief executive officer. He has been the lab's longest-serving director, and upon his retirement will become Argonne's director emeritus.

IPNS commended for quality, service

The awards recognize organizations that demonstrate achievement in quality management, service to customers and commitment to excellence.

An extensive application for the award was submitted to the Energy Quality Council by IPNS earlier this year. A team of trained examiners then reviewed the application, scoring the facility's strengths and weaknesses against a predetermined set of criteria. IPNS is one of 15 applicants receiving an award among a field of 29 applicants representing DOE, laboratory and contractor organizations.

According to Arthur Goldman, Deputy Chief Operations Officer for Quality Management and Performance, the award is "an incentive for organizations to step forward and receive recognition for implementing quality management principles and getting demonstrable results.

"It's also an opportunity to have an independent, outside group review your organization and give you feedback on your strengths and weaknesses," he said.

Goldman and Beverly Marzec (IPNS) will travel to Washington D.C. this week to receive the award and attend a reception hosted by DOE Secretary Hazel O'Leary.

Presentations to highlight projects
supported by lab-directed R&D funds

The 20-minute talks are part of DOE's annual review of the LDRD program. Many current Argonne programs were first funded as LDRD projects, which allowed them to demonstrate their feasibility before acquiring long-term support from DOE or other sponsors.

These presentations are open to all interested employees.

Planned presentations on Monday, Oct. 23, include:

Presentations planned for Tuesday, Oct. 24:

Public, employees invited to comment
on DOE waste management impact statement

The statement analyzes the potential environmental impacts of alternatives for treatment, storage, and disposal of waste from nuclear weapons operations and site operations. Argonne is considered a potential site for these activities.

The teleconference will be held Thursday, Oct. 26, in Building 201, Room 3A, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. All interested employees are invited to attend.

Argonne and DOE employees are invited to a brown-bag lunch on Wednesday, Oct. 25, to learn more about the impact statement or submit written comments. The one-hour lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. in Building 201, Room 3A.

Contact Mary Jo Acke at ext. 2-8796 for more information.

Sigma XI hosts talk on
endangered plant research

The talk will begin at noon in Argonne-East's Building 203 auditorium. Bowles is the first in a series of speakers to be sponsored by Argonne's chapter of Sigma Xi, the national honor society.

Off-site visitors planning to attend the talk should contact Tony Zeuli at (708) 252-4033 or John Greene at (708) 252-5364.

Four win prizes at Arts at Argonne party

Jeff Goetzen and Julie Hanebuth (both IPNS) each won a pair of tickets to the concert of their choice during the current season of chamber music.

Carolyn Costa (DOE) and Al Knox (TD) each won a compact disc of Mozart wind serenades performed by New York Philomusica. New York Philomusica will perform at Argonne Sunday, April 21, 1996.

Upcoming concerts in the series include:

Single admission tickets are $15. To order by mail, send a check payable to Argonne National Laboratory to Arts at Argonne, Building 203-R202.

For more information, including complete programs for each concert, see Arts at Argonne's page on the World Wide Web.

Blood drive planned

Employees who have not received a registration form may get one from the Medical Department, Building 201.

Volunteers are needed to assist with blood drive registration. For more information, call the Medical Department at ext. 2-2803.

HR offers training in `client/server'
version of training management system

Morning and afternoon sessions of this course will be held in Argonne-East's Building 201, Room 167C and are limited to ten participants per session. Enroll in course HR500 through the current Training Management System.

The new system will replace the current mainframe-based system Nov. 6. Contact John Hyzer (HR) for more information.

Kiosk video features CAVE news clip

The three-minute segment focuses on the many uses for computer software that provide three-dimensional views. It concludes with a look inside the CAVE, which allows Argonne researchers to conduct scientific simulations using virtual reality tools. It is one of only four such systems in the world.

The video has been installed in all four video kiosks, located in the lobbies of Argonne-East buildings 201, 213 (cafeteria), 360 and 362.

Open enrollment information en route

Information on medical plans and flexible spending accounts will be distributed to all employees during the week of Oct. 23. Details on the enrollment requirements for the new preferred provider option and health maintenance organizations will be included. Changes take effect Jan. 1, 1996.

Representatives from CIGNA, the four HMOs providing coverage to employees and Argonne's Employee Benefits Section will be available to answer questions about the laboratory's medical plans Tuesday, Oct. 31, through Thursday, Nov. 2, in Argonne-East's Building 213 cafeteria from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Medical benefit changes and flexible spending account enrollments must be received in Employee Benefits, Building 201, by Wednesday, Nov. 22.

Shoemobile changes schedule

Regular day and location will resume the following week: Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon in the 200 area parking lot and from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Building 360 parking lot.
