ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
Knowing the state of charge of lithium-ion batteries, used to power applications from electric vehicles to medical diagnostic equipment, is critical for long-term battery operation.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
Biocompatible nanoparticles have been developed that can trap and retain therapeutic radionuclides and their byproducts at the cancer site. This is important to maximize the therapeutic effect of this treatment and minimize associated side effects.
Current fuel used in nuclear light water reactors that generate energy for the grid use a solid form of uranium that is heated and processed to form pellets.
This technology is a strategy for decreasing electromagnetic interference and boosting signal fidelity for low signal-to-noise sensors transmitting over long distances in extreme environments, such as nuclear energy generation applications, particularly for particle detection.
The need for accurate temperature measurement in critical environments such as nuclear reactors is paramount for safety and efficiency.
The invention ensures post-validation calibrated physics system predictions remain within predetermined model validation domain boundaries.
The vast majority of energy conversion technologies and industrial processes depend on heat exchangers for transferring heat between fluids.
