Despite steady progress in detection and treatment in recent decades, cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, cutting short the lives of approximately 500,000 people each year. To better understand and combat this disease, medical researcher...
Nearly 200 attendees from national labs, industry, utilities, reactor design firms, and international development companies gathered at ORNL’s latest molten salt reactor workshop.

Renewed interest in molten salt technology was evident at a recent gathering of advanced nuclear reactor experts at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Nearly 200 attendees from national labs, industry, utilities, reactor design firms,...

Doctoral student Rachel Seibert works with ORNL mentor Kurt Terrani as part of the lab’s Nuclear Engineering Science Laboratory Synthesis (NESLS) program.
For a second straight summer, Rachel Seibert spent her days at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researching advanced nuclear reactors. The Ph.D. candidate may not have had such an opportunity more than a decade ago, but thanks to a unique internship ...
