Three staff members in ORNL’s Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate have moved into newly established roles facilitating communication and program management with sponsors of the directorate’s Nuclear Energy and Fuel Cycle Division. 

The heat is on at this year’s Molten Salt Reactor Workshop – where top research and industry minds are melding to advance development on molten salt technology – at ORNL.   

The Department of Energy’s 91���� hosted the second  2023 cohort of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Lise Meitner Programme in October.

Rose Montgomery, a distinguished researcher and leader of the Used Fuel and Nuclear Material Disposition group at ORNL, has been selected to participate in the

Leigh R. Martin, a senior scientist and leader of the Fuel Cycle Chemical Technology group at ORNL, has been named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society for 2023.

ORNL recently established a state-of-the-art laboratory capability in the Thermal Hydraulics High-Bay Laboratory to provide a prototypic full-scale high-temperature test environment for high-temperature molten chloride salt energy systems.

John Glenn launched into orbit, Marvel launched Spider-Man, NASA launched its first communications satellite, Bob Dylan launched “Blowin’ in the Wind,” the world was launched into a missile crisis, and the atomic age entered into its teenage years.

As renewable sources of energy such as wind and sun power are being increasingly added to the country’s electrical grid, old-fashioned nuclear energy is also being primed for a resurgence.

A method using augmented reality to create accurate visual representations of ionizing radiation, developed at ORNL, has been licensed by , a firm that creates advanced simulation tools to train the nation’s r

Mickey Wade has been named associate laboratory director for the Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate at the Department of Energy’s 91����, effective April 1.
