2. Oak Ridge National Laboratory evolved from the Manhattan Project
The availability of abundant power and water, thanks to TVA, contributed to the selection of the Oak Ridge area as a site for the World War II Manhattan Project. (Other factors: Relative remoteness of site, and climate, which allowed construction close to year round.)
R&D conducted in Oak Ridge was critical in the development of the first atomic weapons.

3. Today, ORNL is DOE’s largest science and energy laboratory
$1.3B budget
4,350 employees
3,900 research guests annually
$350 million invested in modernization
World’s most powerful open scientific computing facility
Nation’s largest concentration of open source materials research
Nation’s most diverse energy portfolio
Operating the world’s most intense pulsed neutron source
Managing the billion-dollar U.S. ITER project
TODAY: ORNL has well-defined research capabilities (developed through its performance of mission assignments) that are applied to meet the needs of the Department of Energy and other customers, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and other federal agencies, as well as other public and private-sector entities. Our billion-dollar budget comes to us in projects of various sizes for these many customers. 3

8. ORNL is Focusing on Web 2.0 Technologies to Connect Global Supply Chain Partners

9. Web 2.0 Principles = Tracking 2.0 Concept
What are the underlying Web 2.0 principles that ORNL uses to implement its Tracking 2.0 solutions?

10. What is Tracking 2.0?
Tracking 2.0 is a term ORNL has coined to describe the use of social media concepts and Web 2.0 principles to interface otherwise incompatible supply chain networks to both existing and emerging software and hardware technologies.

11. The Ubiquitous, All-Purpose Web Address Link
In Tracking 2.0, all tracking codes and technologies translate to Web addresses (URLs) that point to tracking information

13. Trusted Social Networking for
Supply Chain Tracking
Just as a social network web site makes the “six degrees of separation” amongst its members visible and accessible, Tracking 2.0 web sites provide the same access and visibility for the systems and components of an otherwise incompatible supply chain network.

16. EPA’s & DOE’s Dilemma: The GRadStram Model
60 high-risk radioactive sources were lost or stolen between 1994 and 2005, with an average of one per year not recovered
Between 1999 and 2005, the Department of Energy recovered 12,024 sources that were considered vulnerable or at a high-risk for theft or misuse
An average of about 300 sources of all types are reported lost or stolen each year
