The first wall and blanket of a fusion energy reactor must maintain structural integrity and performance over long operational periods under neutron irradiation and minimize long-lived radioactive waste.
In order to avoid the limitations and costs due to the use of monolithic components for chemical vapor deposition, we developed a modular system in which the reaction chamber can be composed of a top and bottom cone, nozzle, and in-situ reaction chambers.
ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
The technologies provide a coating method to produce corrosion resistant and electrically conductive coating layer on metallic bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen electrolyzer applications.
Knowing the state of charge of lithium-ion batteries, used to power applications from electric vehicles to medical diagnostic equipment, is critical for long-term battery operation.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
Current fuel used in nuclear light water reactors that generate energy for the grid use a solid form of uranium that is heated and processed to form pellets.
The technology provides a transformational approach to digitally manufacture structural alloys with co- optimized strength and environmental resistance
This technology is a strategy for decreasing electromagnetic interference and boosting signal fidelity for low signal-to-noise sensors transmitting over long distances in extreme environments, such as nuclear energy generation applications, particularly for particle detection.
