Facility could rapidly provide data on how material properties change in a nuclear reactor

For half a century, researchers have seen loops of displaced atoms appearing inside nuclear reactor steel after exposure to radiation

A new microscopy technique allows researchers to track microstructural changes in real time, even when a material is exposed to extreme heat and stress

The University of Michigan’s Nuclear Engineering Laboratory in Ann Arbor finds its perfect fit—in a former nuclear reactor

The four-story building contains 13,200 square feet of laboratories, offices, and conference rooms

A new discovery about the atomic structure of uranium dioxide will help scientists select the best computational model to simulate severe nuclear reactor accidents.

The High Flux Isotope Reactor, or HFIR, now in its 48th year of providing neutrons for research and isotope production at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society (ANS).

Researchers have devised a method to use cosmic rays to gather detailed information from inside the damaged cores of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors.
