In this episode of The Sound of Science, we explore the nuclear fuel cycle — the journey nuclear fuel takes from uranium mining to reactor use, recycling, and long-term disposal. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory explain how advanced fuels like TRISO are changing reactor design, why recy…
A sickly mouse in a 1940s lab at Oak Ridge National Laboratory didn’t look like a breakthrough. But that unexpected mutation — known as scurfy — would eventually help unlock one of the immune system’s most important secrets.
In this episode of the Sound of Science, we trace the decades-long journey…
From the world’s first continuously operating nuclear reactor to today’s next-generation designs, Oak Ridge National Laboratory has helped shape nuclear energy from its very beginning. Now, as electricity demand surges — driven in part by AI and data centers — nuclear energy is once again in the sp…
Each year brings record-breaking climate events and alarming trends that highlight the urgent need for action on carbon emissions. While industry plays a significant role, our daily activities — driving, heating our homes, even the food we eat — all contribute to the problem. But as daunting as it …
By the early 1990s, Oak Ridge National Laboratory had transformed into a scientific institution with a diverse research portfolio that went well beyond its nuclear roots in the Manhattan Project. But despite this success, the lab was entering a period of uncertainty. Its facilities were showing the…
