November 13, 2007 ANS Fellows as follows:
John S. Hendricks, a scientist for Los Alamos National Laboratory, was honored for his outstanding work and leadership in the development of the MCNP and MCNPX codes. Hendricks' vision focuses on quality, technical contributions, strategic thinking and determination have culminated in internationally recognized and admired Monte Carlo Radiation Transport Codes that have had a broad and dramatic impact across the nuclear enterprise.
James F. Stubbins, a nuclear plasma and radiological engineering department head and professor at the University of Illinois was honored for his outstanding contributions to the understanding, development and use of materials in a wide variety of nuclear applications. Stubbins has impacted fusion, fission, and spallation systems through his contributions in areas such as radiation damage and effects performance, mechanical properties and design-base performance, and corrosion monitoring and performance.
