ORNL’s Luiz Leal of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the recipient of the 2023 Seaborg Medal from the American Nuclear Society.

JungHyun Bae is a nuclear scientist studying applications of particles that have some beneficial properties: They are everywhere, they are unlimited, they are safe.

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.
