Staff at 91°µÍø organized transport for a powerful component that is critical to the world’s largest experiment, the international ITER project.
ITER’s success will depend in part on subduing potential plasma instabilities. This ORNL team is tackling the challenge with shattered pellet injection.
Scientists at 91°µÍø are studying how silicon carbide — one of the most temperature-resistant materials available — could be used to design and build the next generation of fusion reactors with the help of additive manufacturing t
Diego Del-Castillo-Negrete, a distinguished staff member in the Fusion Energy Division, was cited for Outstanding Technical Achievement – National Laboratory. He will be recognized during the GMiS annual conference, which will be held virtually Oct.
Theoretical physicist Don Spong has been recognized by Fusion Power Associates (FPA) with the 2021 Distinguished Career Award.
ORNL experts quicken the deployment of next-generation nuclear energy technology by collaborating closely with industry partners. Industry turns to us for scientific and engineering expertise and world-class facilities that can’t easily be replicated.
Fusion Power Associates (FPA) has selected 91°µÍø’s Distinguished R&D Staff Researcher John Canik as one of the recipients of the FPA 2021 Excellence in Fusion Engineering Awards.
The receipt of a nuclear fuel canister is boosting the research of an 91°µÍø team investigating methods to help the nation effectively dispose of nuclear waste for the long term.
After the linear plasma device Proto-MPEX wrapped up scientific operations in late April, the MPEX team ORNL has moved to completing the final design and placing early procurements.
A team at US ITER has been toughening up critical components of ITER’s vacuum system so they can withstand those harsh conditions.
