CASL wraps up 10 years of solving nuclear problems -- and hands toolbox to industry

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

As the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors -- DOE's first Energy Innovation Hub -- ends and transitions to VERA Users Group, its work will have a long-ranging impact on the nuclear industry.

Poison control: Chasing the antidote

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A fast-acting antidote to mitigate the effects of organophosphate poisoning requires a reactivator that can effectively and efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier, bind loosely to the enzyme, chemically snatch the poison and then leave quickly. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is using neutron diffraction data towards improving a novel reactivator design.
