• Steven Matthew Inman, 76 (bbbtv12.com) — An Oak Ridge funeral home is coordinating arrangements for longtime husband, father, and grandfather Steven Matthew Inman, whose Celebration of Life is set for June 13 in Pigeon Forge.

• Tennessee judges could be ousted for not cooperating with ICE in new law signed by the governor • Tennessee Lookout (tennesseelookout.com) — An Oak Ridge lawmaker helped pass a new Tennessee law that could remove judges who don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities, including ICE. For Oak Ridge residents, this means local and state judges face potential misconduct proceedings if their actions are deemed to obstruct federal immigration operations, though the law leaves that term undefined and expires in 2029.
   

• Uranium salt data to boost future nuclear reactor design and safety (interestingengineering.com) — Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have captured rare data on uranium-bearing molten salts that could shape the next generation of safer, more efficient nuclear reactors. Working in Oak Ridge, the team measured how these salts move heat and flow, filling key data gaps that regulators and designers need to model and license future molten salt reactors worldwide.
