The American Nuclear Society Names Fellows

The American Nuclear Society (ANS) has named Mark D. DeHart, Temitope A. Taiwo and Terry Todd as a Fellows of ANS for their outstanding accomplishments in nuclear science and engineering. They received their awards at the opening of the 2016 ANS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, on June 13, 2016.

The ANS Fellow is the highest membership grade of the Society and is reserved for members who have compiled a professional record of making significant contributions to the advancement of nuclear science, engineering, and technology.

Dr. Mark DeHart was recognized for his transformational methods development work advancing high-fidelity spent fuel characterization in support of burn-up credit initiatives, ultimately enhancing these methods to provide rigorous lattice physics capabilities. Dr. DeHart is currently a Senior Reactor Physicist at the Idaho National Laboratory and a Deputy Director for Reactor Physics Modeling and Simulation, INL Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate. He received a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M University.


Dr. Temitope Taiwo was selected for his contributions to the development of reactor analysis methods and tools. He is the Deputy Director of Nuclear Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory. In 2011, he received the Award of Excellence from the Nigerian Institute of Physics, and the Pacesetter Award from Argonne National Laboratory in 2000 and 2009. He holds a B.S. in engineering physics from the University of Ife in Nigeria and a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from MIT.


Dr. Terry Todd was recognized for his pioneering achievements and work in chemical separation and isolation of actinides and other radioactive materials.
He is the Division Director and Laboratory Fellow of the Fuel Cycle Science and Technology Division for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Dr. Todd played a leading role in inventing modern separation method,s and his pioneering techniques are used world-wide. In 2014, he won the Secretary of Energy Achievement Award.  He has a B.S. and M.S. in chemical engineering from Montana State University and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the Khlopin Radium Institute in Russia.
