After more than 25 years of experience in condensed matter physics, as a student, researcher and in high-ranking executive roles at neutron scattering sources around the globe, Jon Taylor brings a wealth of experience and accomplishments to his new position as Associate Laboratory Director for the Neutron Sciences Directorate (NScD) at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has opened the application period for its annual grants supporting STEM education and community development initiatives. These grants are funded by Battelle Energy Alliance, which operates the lab for the U.S. Department of Energy.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — The recent delivery of advanced nuclear fuel to the Idaho National Laboratory’s Transient Reactor Test Facility marks a major milestone for Project Pele, a first-of-its-kind mobile microreactor prototype designed to provide resilient power for military operations.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — The Idaho National Laboratory today announced initial selections for the Microreactor Application Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) end user experiments. The five competitively selected teams will demonstrate several test cases, including desalination of remote operations and advanced sensors. The experiments will also be among the first to demonstrate the viability of powering data centers with advanced nuclear technologies, a cutting-edge use of nuclear energy that ensures America remains the leader in innovation to dominate the artificial intelligence race. These efforts deliver on the Trump administration’s executive orders to unleash private sector innovation and expedite the deployment of commercial nuclear energy technologies.
