In 2009, Phelps joined [[Oak Ridge National Laboratory]], where she works in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate as the project manager for the [[nickel-63]] and [[selenium-75]] industrial isotope programs. In addition to being a project manager, she is a member of the research and development staff in Oak Ridge's Nuclear Materials Processing Group, where she works with "super heavy" transuranic isotopes that are produced mainly by [[nuclear transmutation]].

Clarice Evone Phelps (née Salone),[1] is a nuclear chemist who was part of a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) that prepared a precursor used in its discovery of tennessine (element 117). Formerly in the US Navy Nuclear Power Program, now at ORNL, Phelps works as a project manager for industrial use isotopes and as a researcher investigating the processing of radioactive transuranic elements such as plutonium-238 used to fuel NASA's deep space exploration missions, and californium-252 used to treat certain cancers. She is the recipient of the 2017 YWCA Knoxville Tribute to Women Technology, Research, and Innovation Award, recognizing “local women who lead their fields in technology and excel in community service”.[2][3] She was featured on the Oak Ridge Associated Universities STEM stories program, partnering with nearby schools in Tennessee.[4][2][5]
Early history
Education
Phelps‘s interest in chemistry began during her childhood when she was given a microscope and encyclopedia-based science kit by her mother, which interest nd was nurtured by her secondary school science teachers.[6] Also an alumna of the Tennessee Aquatic Project and Development Group, a nonprofit organization for at-risk youth,[7] at Tennessee State University Phelps earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry in 2003.[4]
Phelps served in the United States Navy Nuclear Power Program,[2] which operates and maintains the nuclear reactors that power the Navy's submarines and aircraft carriers. She spent four and a half years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.[8] While in the Navy, Phelps studied nuclear power, reactor theory, and thermodynamics.[4]
Laboratory career
In 2009, Phelps joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she works in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate as the project manager for the nickel-63 and selenium-75 industrial isotope programs. In addition to being a project manager, she is a member of the research and development staff in Oak Ridge's Nuclear Materials Processing Group, where she works with "super heavy" transuranic isotopes that are produced mainly by nuclear transmutation. She is also a member of the Medical, Industrial and Research Isotopes Group, where she researches elements such as actinium, lanthanum, europium, and samarium.[4][9]
Phelps was involved in the discovery of the second-heaviest known element, tennessine (Element 117).[5] Phelps was part of a three-month process to purify 22 mg of berkelium-249, which was shipped to the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and combined with calcium-48 in a fusion reaction to create tennessine.[4][10][11] Chemistry journalist Kit Chapman wrote that Phelps was "the first African American woman" to be part of a team that discovered a new element.[12][13]
Phelps continues to contribute to other important research efforts,[4] including spectroscopic analysis and spectrophotometric valence state studies of plutonium-238 and neptunium-237 and 238 for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA).[14] Phelps has also studied electrodeposition with californium-252 for the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade project.[4]
On June 3, 2019, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nominated Phelps for the IUPAC Periodic Table of Younger Chemists "for her outstanding commitment to research and public engagement, as well as being an important advocate for diversity".[15] Serving on ORNL's Educational Outreach Committee as its diversity chair for Knox County Schools and as vice president of the board of Youth Outreach in Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (YO-STEM),[8] Phelps is a member of the American Chemical Society[4] and the American Nuclear Society.[9]
Wikipedia controversy
Phelps' contribution to the discovery of Element 117 was the subject of controversy after her article was twice deleted from Wikipedia after discussion.[10][16][17] This was described in Chemistry World in 2019 as putting "Wikipedia’s gender gap in the spotlight." in reference to the apparent Wikipedian discrimination against articles about women in science.[18]
