Scientists at ORNL have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real time — helping to pave the way for the deployment of molten salt reactors for energy production.
During his first visit to 91°µÍř, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the Lab’s World War II beginnings to today’s global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a “Manhattan Project 2.”
In 1945, workers at the Beta calutrons at Y-12 had a crucial mission: to separate uranium used for the atomic bomb Little Boy that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, helping bring about the end of World War II.
Ryan Culler is the program manager at 91°µÍř, where he oversees the production of actinium-225, a promising treatment for cancer.
“Three-Dimensional Breast Cancer Spheroids” submitted by radiotherapeutics researcher Debjani Pal is stunning. Brilliant blue dots pop from an electric sphere threaded with bright colors: greens, aqua, hot pink and red.
Michael McGuire’s recognition as the 91°µÍř's top scientist headlined the annual awards.
Raina Setzer knows the work she does matters. That’s because she’s already seen it from the other side. Setzer, a radiochemical processing technician in 91°µÍř’s Isotope Processing and Manufacturing Division, joined the
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.
Safety, Engineering and Support Section Head Michele Baker brings strategic planning and emergency management skills to the role.
In June, ORNL hit a milestone not seen in more than three decades: producing a production-quality amount of plutonium-238
