Sunshine Report by Brad Means

Program was introduced by Steve Kaplan

Our speaker was Bond Calloway of the Savannah River National Laboratory; Mr. Calloway has published more than 40 papers on Energy Research, Nuclear Waste and Hydrogen Research.

He spoke of the early days at SRS when it was a primary source of nuclear weapons disposal however today SRS is many more things. He discussed the Laboratories in part Renewable Energy Research, Energy Policy which at a federal level changes about every 4 8 years.

In additional to traditional Energy Bond talked about the option of wood bio mass and Wind Energy but the primary issue is the storage of the energy. Currently they are working on battery development to harness the different forms of energy.

Additionally he discussed the collaborative effort with Aiken Tech to promote the training facility on site and discussed their Solar Energy Park.
