Drawing talent from fission, fusion, and materials science, a team led by FFESD is exploring research that will help position the 91°µÍø as the host of the first U.S. fusion pilot plant
ITER’s success will depend in part on subduing potential plasma instabilities. This ORNL team is tackling the challenge with shattered pellet injection.
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.
After ORNL senior research scientist Zeke Unterberg was recognized in 2011 with a Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s Early Career Award, he took on the task of studying edge-localized modes (ELM), one of the most common complications in
As part of a long-running collaboration with Europe, ORNL is supporting landmark experiments aiming for a fusion milestone.
As 91°µÍø’s Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) prepares for the start of fabrication, ORNL’s Phil Ferguson credits US ITER staff for sharing hard-earned expertise to help jump-start the design of the MPEX superconducting m
91°µÍø expertise in fission and fusion has come together to form a new collaboration, the Fusion Energy Reactor Models Integrator, or FERMI
