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.

The American Nuclear Society has designated the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø an ANS Nuclear Historic Landmark, recognizing more than 50 years of isotope production and nuclear fuel cycle resear...
