ORNL-produced californium-252 will be used to start up two new nuclear reactors—the first new reactors built in the United States in more than 30 years—at Georgia Power’s Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia.
ORNL and Ramaco Carbon are innovating ways to transform coal to advanced carbon products and materials.
ORNL researchers experimented with tungsten isotopes at General Atomics’ DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego to better understand how this element can be used to shield the inside of a fusion reactor. Fusion reactors reach temperatures hotter than the sun’s core, causing atoms to fuse and release energy. It was the first experiment of its kind conducted in a fusion device.
A new technology for chemically separating rare earth elements has been licensed to Marshallton Research Laboratories, a North Carolina-based manufacturer of organic chemicals for a range of industries. This new technology has the potential to create a dramatic, beneficial shift for producers in the United States.
ORNL partnered with Lincoln Electric, based in Cleveland, and Wolf Robotics, based in Fort Collins, Colorado, to accelerate technology for additive manufacturing, significantly reducing the time and cost it takes to make large metal parts for automotive, aerospace, and energy industries.
ORNL is partnering with Resurgo, a cybersecurity firm based in Honolulu, to advance network protection with artificial intelligence. Specifically, the partnership seeks to develop machine learning-based intrusion detection sensors for cyber networks that safeguard our critical infrastructure.
