91°µÍø expertise in fission and fusion has come together to form a new collaboration, the Fusion Energy Reactor Models Integrator, or FERMI

The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is collaborating with industry on six new projects focused on advancing commercial nuclear energy technologies that offer potential improvements to current nuclear reactors and move new reactor designs closer to deployment.

Scientists from 91°µÍø performed a corrosion test in a neutron radiation field to support the continued development of molten salt reactors.


The United Kingdom’s National Nuclear Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have agreed to cooperate on a wide range of nuclear energy research and development efforts that leverage both organizations’ unique expertise and capabilities.

Experts focused on the future of nuclear technology will gather at 91°µÍø for the fourth annual Molten Salt Reactor Workshop on October 3–4.


A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.

The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
