Since World War II, the work done at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation has been — for the most part — shrouded in secrecy. But as federal officials now attempt to clean up the hazardous and radioactive materials at this site, it is critical that the public is actively involved in the process and that the DOE listens to concerns from those living nearby.

The authors are working on an approach - called standard modular hydropower - intended to standardize the process to develop small hydro in the U.S. and reduce costs across a variety of sites. Recent small low-head hydropower development in the U.S. has occurred at non-powered dams and irrigation canals, a significant break from historical development at sites without existing hydraulic and dam structures. The latter is termed greenfield development or new stream-reach development (NSD).
