ORNL partners with Brookhaven National Laboratory on numerous research projects, from modeling proteins to understanding energy-related materials. Brookhaven, ORNL, and Los Alamos National Laboratory work together in the Department of Energy Isotope Program’s Tri-Lab research effort. The purpose of this effort is to provide actinium-225 for cancer treatment. In June 2021, ORNL processed the largest batch of actinium-225 ever put into inventory.
As a DOE Office of Science multidisciplinary lab—like ORNL—Brookhaven leads initiatives that focus on nuclear science, energy science, data science, particle physics, accelerator science and technology, quantitative plant science, and quantum information science. Brookhaven operates four user facilities, including the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the National Synchrotron Light Source II, and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials.
