Jay Mullis, UCOR senior vice president of Nuclear and Waste Management Operations, received the Milton Levenson Distinguished Service Award from the American Nuclear Society yesterday.
This prestigious award was presented in recognition of his stewardship and leadership in Oak Ridge, most notably for his oversight of ETTP cleanup.
During his career with UCOR and previously with DOE, he led the first-ever cleanup of a uranium enrichment complex, delivering results safely, ahead of schedule, and under budget. This work enabled large-scale land reuse, economic revitalization, and a national resurgence in advanced nuclear technologies. More than 2,500 acres of cleaned-up federal land has been transferred to the local community. Dozens of nuclear-based companies are located at ETTP, leading a national renaissance for nuclear energy in advanced reactor concepts, new fuel sources, and uranium enrichment capacity.
Congratulations to Jay on winning this well-deserved award!
