## Three projects to accelerate fusion energy development awarded to ORNL

October 9, 2023

ORNL will lead three new DOE-funded projects designed to bring fusion energy to the grid on a rapid timescale. 

## US-Japan fusion materials collaboration marks 40 years of progress

June 27, 2023

Creating energy the way the sun and stars do — through nuclear fusion — is one of the grand challenges facing science and technology. What’s easy for the sun and its billions of relatives turns out to be particularly difficult on Earth.

## ORNL to be involved in multiple DOE-funded commercial fusion energy development projects

June 1, 2023

ORNL will team up with six of eight companies that are advancing designs and research and development for fusion power plants with the mission to achieve a pilot-scale demonstration of fusion within a decade.

## Changing what is possible in fusion drives ORNL’s FERMI project  

May 7, 2021

Oak Ridge National Laboratory expertise in fission and fusion has come together to form a new collaboration, the Fusion Energy Reactor Models Integrator, or FERMI

## Nuclear – Fuel cost savings

September 1, 2020

A developing method to gauge the occurrence of a nuclear reactor anomaly has the potential to save millions of dollars.

## Computing – Enhancing fusion models

August 4, 2020

Combining expertise in physics, applied math and computing, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists are expanding the possibilities for simulating electromagnetic fields that underpin phenomena in materials design and telecommunications. 

## MPEX promises a versatile tool for fusion reactor materials development

June 4, 2020

Temperatures hotter than the center of the sun. Magnetic fields hundreds of thousands of times stronger than the earth’s. Neutrons energetic enough to change the structure of a material entirely. 

## Fusion – ITER assembly begins

June 2, 2020

ITER, the world’s largest international scientific collaboration, is beginning assembly of the fusion reactor tokamak that will include 12 different essential hardware systems provided by US ITER, which is managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

## Fusion – Squeezing the code

February 6, 2020

The prospect of simulating a fusion plasma is a step closer to reality thanks to a new computational tool developed by scientists in fusion physics, computer science and mathematics at ORNL. 

## Fusion – Argon calling

December 2, 2019

As scientists study approaches to best sustain a fusion reactor, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory investigated injecting shattered argon pellets into a super-hot plasma, when needed, to protect the reactor’s interior wall from high-energy runaway electrons.
