Frederick Walter Young Jr., 82, former director of the Solid State Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), died Thursday, Aug. 2, 2007, at his home in Knoxville, Tenn. As an ORNL scientist, he was known internationally for his pioneering investigations of the effects of nuclear radiation on materials and for leadership in materials science research. Mr. Young was born in 1924 and raised on a farm in Dinwiddie County, Va. He attended public schools, then Hampden-Sydney College, graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1944. For the next two years, he was an instructor at the college in math and chemistry. He attended graduate school at the University of Virginia from 1946-1950, graduating with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry and a minor in physics. At both schools, he was active in student affairs, served on student councils, and was president of the graduate school at University of Virginia, where he was also elected to Omicron Delta Kappa and The Raven Society. From 1950-51, he was an Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies research fellow at ORNL. He then returned to the University of Virginia as a research assistant professor. In 1956, he joined ORNL's Solid State Division as a member of the research staff and later held both research and administrative positions, including serving as a section head, associate director (1968 to 1988), and director from 1988 until his retirement in December 1990. He maintained a close connection with individual scientists and division research programs, particularly in the area of radiation effects. With the widening scope of the energy mission for DOE Laboratories in the mid-1970s, he was closely involved in the development within his division of new concepts, theory, and experiments. Of particular importance were experiments associated with the annealing of defects by pulses from a powerful laser and synchrotron X-ray experiments that helped to resolve the lively controversy that existed regarding possible mechanisms of annealing. His groundbreaking research investigations on the effects of nuclear radiation on metals required large metal crystals free of other types of defects. He perfected techniques for growing copper single crystals that were defect-free and used these crystals in several types of experiments, also loaning them to scientists interested in conducting similar types of research at other laboratories throughout the world. He pioneered experiments to determine the effects of irradiation-induced defects on chemical processes such as surface oxidation and chemical etching and used a variety of new techniques to analyze and characterize the introduction, arrangement, and annealing of radiation-induced defects. His studies gained him international renown, and he was invited to lecture at many of the universities and laboratories in the United States and abroad. He spent one year as a visiting scientist at the Kernforschung Anlage, Jiilich, Germany (Nuclear Research Center). His scientific recognition led to activities in a number of scientific societies. He helped form the Physics Society for Crystal Growth and was a board member; and was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society, where he co-founded the Materials Physics Division and served as chairman. He was author or coauthor of some 263 scientific papers. He was known for combining a rigorous work ethic, undeserving modesty, and forthrightness of expression with a strong sense of commitment to service for humanitarian causes. This was evident at many levels, ranging from his commitment locally as a provider of meals-on-wheels for 14 years to his continuing educational support to young students. At Hampden-Sydney College he endowed the Samuel Macon Reed Scholarship and continued to provide gifts there to the Jessie Reames Young and Charles Reames Young Scholarships that were endowed in 1909 by his father, Fred W. Young Sr. Locally, he served on the board and as a trustee of the Pellissippi State Technical Community College Foundation and endowed an annual student scholarship at Pellissippi State. In 1991, Fred, in his own words, "returned to type" when he retired to his small farm in West Knox County. There this gardener and horticulturist of uncommon talent raised a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, sharing them with his family, friends, and neighbors. They best characterized him as the prototype of a true "Virginia gentleman." Mr. Young was preceded in death by two brothers, Charles and Walter Young, and a sister, Anna Dunevant. He is survived by his sons, Rick and Tom Young; a daughter-in-law, Becky; a granddaughter, Joanna Maxey and her husband, Andy, and their son Grayson; a grandson, Bo Blann, his wife, Lora, and their daughter, Presley; two sisters-in-law; and a number of nieces and nephews. As per his request, there will be no public memorial service. His family will celebrate his life with his friends and colleagues at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 12, 2007, at his home, 2900 West Gallaher Ferry Road, Knoxville, TN 37932. =========================================== SUPPORT OUR TROOPS---FLY THE FLAG "Genealogy is like playing hide and seek.
