ORNL recently established a state-of-the-art laboratory capability in the Thermal Hydraulics High-Bay Laboratory to provide a prototypic full-scale high-temperature test environment for high-temperature molten chloride salt energy systems.
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
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.
91°µÍø expertise in fission and fusion has come together to form a new collaboration, the Fusion Energy Reactor Models Integrator, or FERMI
