About
J.J. Perona’s research career has been defined by critical contributions to nuclear waste management and environmental remediation, particularly through the safe handling and processing of liquid low-level radioactive waste. His most recognized work, "Sludge mobilization with submerged nozzles in horizontal cylindrical tanks," addresses the practical challenge of removing accumulated sludge from storage tanks at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where wastes are neutralized and stored. This foundational study, though modest in citation count, provides essential engineering insights into fluid dynamics and waste retrieval processes that underpin decades of operational safety at ORNL’s Melton Valley Storage Tanks and evaporator service tanks. Perona’s expertise lies in the intersection of chemical engineering and radiological waste treatment, focusing on the physical and chemical behavior of sludge under storage conditions. While his publication record is concise, its direct application to legacy waste management highlights his role in solving real-world environmental challenges. His work remains a reference for engineers and researchers developing strategies for tank waste retrieval and stabilization, underscoring the lasting importance of applied research in hazardous waste remediation.
