| DOE Fellows - Student Profile - Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) |
Name: Ramon A. Colon
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Nationality: US
Expected Date of Graduation: December 2008
Hosting Site: Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL)
ORNL Program: Higher Education Research Experiences
(HERE)
ORNL Division: Computational Sciences and Engineering
Mentor: David Hill
Internship Duration: June 4 – August 10 (10 weeks)
Summer Internship Description:
Ramon will be working under the supervision of Mr. David
Hill and he will be involved in the SersorNet program.
Ramon will be exposed to all the complex aspects of engineering
sensor array components and the optimal location of sensor
modules. SensorNet is a framework of sensor data that
senses radiological, biological, chemical, nuclear or
explosive threats and alert in “real time.” SensorNet
is currently being used at Fort Bragg, Memphis, and other
places around the country.

Name: Giancarlos Peña
Major: Civil Engineering
Nationality: US
Expected Date of Graduation: December 2008
Hosting Site: Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL)
ORNL Program: Higher Education Research Experiences
(HERE)
ORNL Division: Nuclear Science and Technology
Mentor: M. Jonathan Haire
Internship Duration: June 4 – August 10 (10 weeks)
Summer Internship Description:
Giancarlos will be working under the supervision of
Dr. Jonathan Haire at the Nuclear Science and Technology
division. During this internship the team (form by college
students from across the country and their mentors) will
try to develop a pre-conceptual design of an air transport
cask for Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) transportation. Air
transportation of SNF is desirable because it would take
less time for the waste to reach its final destination
(i.e. Yucca Mountain). Different shielding materials
will be examined and the loaded cask must weigh less
than the lift capacity of present commercial air transports
(e.g. the Boeing 747-400E aircraft).

| DOE Fellows - Student Profile - Hanford Site – ALARA
Center |
Name: Alexander Henao
Major: Chemistry – School of Arts and Sciences
Nationality: Resident Alien
Expected Date of Graduation: December 2008
Hosting Site: Hanford Site – ALARA
Center
Hanford Program: None
Hanford Division: ALARA Center
Mentor: Larry O. Waggoner
Internship Duration: June 18 – August 24 (10 weeks)
Summer Internship Description:
Alex will be working at Hanford’s ALARA Center.
There, he will be involved in the development of a D&D
Hotline Website. The plan is to develop a D&D website
that any DOE contractor can use to read about the latest
technology and get help with work planning, latest practices,
tools, equipment and lessons learned. In addition, Alex
will learn about radiological work in progress, so that
he has a good understanding about the decommissioning,
deactivation, decontamination and demolition of DOE facilities.
