Jefferson Lab is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) which is maintained and operating by JSA under our contract with the Department of Energy (DOE). Key sections of the prime JSA/DOE Contract, which lab personnel may need to refer to from time to time, are found below and will be updated as significant changes in the contract occur:
Cryogenics pro designs systems to be used on-site, in labs around the world
Ritendra Bhattacharya is known for keeping things cool—cold, really. As deputy department head of the Cryogenics department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Bhattacharya leads the cryogenics engineering group and helps to maintain the five cryogenics plants operating throughout the lab.
Each cryogenic plant serves a unique function and needs to be operative 24/7 and 365 days a year using an unsupervised computer control system.
