“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Idaho, and my 26 years serving the
United States Department of Energy,” said Sellers, who has served the DOE since
1983. “The energy and national security missions underway at the department’s
Idaho National Laboratory site are critical to the future of our country. I’m
sure the high-quality work performed at the INL will remain a high priority
within the new Administration.”
Sellers has managed DOE’s Idaho Operations Office since April of 2003 –
overseeing the work of about 300 federal and 6,500 contractor employees at the
Idaho National Laboratory, the Idaho Cleanup Project and the Advanced Mixed
Treatment Project.
The Idaho National Laboratory is a multi-program lab involved in energy
research, national and homeland security, and basic science research and
development.
During her time at the Idaho Operations Office, Sellers oversaw the
combination of the former Idaho National Environmental and Engineering
Laboratory with the Argonne National Laboratory-West, to form the new Idaho
National Laboratory. She also oversaw procurement of new contractors to manage
the laboratory, the cleanup contract and the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment
Project. She successfully guided the Idaho Operations Office into IS0 9001
certification, and was one of 23 senior federal executives nationwide in 2007
awarded Meritorious Presidential Rank for exemplary federal service.
DOE plans to announce an interim manager of its Idaho Operations Office
before Sellers retires on Feb. 3.
