TETI 2.0: Understanding nuclear fuel behavior at the atomic level
The degradation of a nuclear fuel’s thermal conductivity is a challenge for efficient nuclear energy operations, but researchers are learning that this degradation can be mitigated by designing the chemistry and structure of the fuel. Fully realizing these mitigation strategies requires going beyond trial-and-error investigative approaches.

Pu-238 shipment quantity 'opens the tap' for space missions
Last month, Oak Ridge National Laboratory hit a milestone not seen in more than three decades: shipping a production-quantity amount of plutonium-238. That’s important because NASA needs this high-power, long-lasting isotope for missions into deep space.
