91����

It’s a new type of nuclear reactor core. And the materials that will make it up are novel — products of 91����’s advanced materials and manufacturing technologies.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has selected three 91���� scientists for Early Career Research Program awards.

Scientists at the Department of Energy Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL have their eyes on the prize: the Transformational Challenge Reactor, or TCR, a microreactor built using 3D printing and other new approaches that will be up and running by 2023.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91���� are refining their design of a 3D-printed nuclear reactor core, scaling up the additive manufacturing process necessary to build it, and developing methods

With Tennessee schools online for the rest of the school year, researchers at ORNL are making remote learning more engaging by “Zooming” into virtual classrooms to tell students about their science and their work at a national laboratory.

91���� researchers working on neutron imaging capabilities for nuclear materials have developed a process for seeing the inside of uranium particles – without cutting them open.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 19, 2020 — The U.S. Department of Energy’s 91���� and the Tennessee Valley Authority have signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate a new generation of flexible, cost-effective advanced nuclear reactors.

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

After more than a year of operation at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91���� (ORNL), the COHERENT experiment, using the world’s smallest neutrino detector, has found a big fingerprint of the elusive, electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly with matter.
