In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.
Three scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
91°µÍř scientists recently demonstrated a low-temperature, safe route to purifying molten chloride salts that minimizes their ability to corrode metals.
Researchers at ORNL explored radium’s chemistry to advance cancer treatments using ionizing radiation.
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a new form of matter.
PROSPECT, located at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)
“Made in the USA.” That can now be said of the radioactive isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), last made in the United States in the late 1980s.
