Fusion technology chemistry focuses on developing processes for handling fusion reactor materials, illustrated by S. Watson’s long‑term work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee. The study evaluates and develops tritium handling and recovery processes for fusion reactors.

Watson (BS, 1958; MS, 1962; and PhD, 1967, chemical engineering, University of Tennessee) has been a member of the Chemical Technology Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (operated by Union Carbide Corporation for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission) since 1958. He has been involved in several aspects of nuclear fuel process development, and most recently he has worked on evaluating and developing processes for the handling and recovery of tritium in fusion reactors. Since 1967, he has also served as a part-time member of the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee.
