Investing in the future of energy: Progress toward deploying U.S. advanced reactor projects
When people think of the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors in the United States, they might imagine something far into the future, with countless steps between concept and reality. But those steps are becoming strides, and the finish line is rapidly drawing closer.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory addresses compelling challenges in delivering carbon-free fusion and fission energy systems. The lab traces its roots to the X-10 Graphite Reactor, the world’s first continuously operated nuclear reactor, and to early innovations in fusion research and engineering.
ORNL has unique facilities for materials research and high performance computing that support our scientists and engineers in addressing challenges such as extended operations of the current US nuclear reactor fleet; investigating economical and flexible advanced reactor systems; and making fusion energy a viable power source.
ORNL also leads US ITER, which is responsible for designing, fabricating, and delivering hardware systems for the international ITER fusion project that will demonstrate 500 MW of fusion power. The directorate also leads the Transformational Challenge Reactor program, which leverages advanced manufacturing for rapid and economical deployment of nuclear technologies, and the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a future world-leading capability that will produce the extreme plasma environments to test materials for use in fusion energy devices.
Join one of the manned informal booth times slots below. Talk directly to recruiters from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and ask questions about the organization and positions available.
