Preparing Our Ports for the Future of Alternative Maritime Fuels
The future of net-zero carbon emission fuel for the maritime sector is coming. According to a new S&T market research survey, by 2050, the global production of ammonia could double, if not triple, due to…
New National Lab Algorithm Enables Faster, Safer Inspection of Nuclear Materials
Additive manufacturing, also called 3D-printing, can enable the domestic fabrication of complex nuclear parts in a short time. The quality of these products is typically verified through computed tomography or CT scans, which use X-rays…
New Plant Engineering Method Promises to Dramatically Improve Biofuel and Bioproduct Development
The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper:Â a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes damaging tumors in flowering plants, including some economically important crops, but its…

Ignition and the Path Toward an Inertial Fusion Energy Future
In December 2022, a team at Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach scientific energy breakeven, producing more energy from fusion than the laser…
Novel Hyper-Breeder Nuclear Reactor Concept
This webinar will describe a novel hyper-breeder reactor requiring only natural uranium fuel and a breeding ratio of 1.55, which allows the reactor to be started up with some of the depleted uranium fuel. This…
DoD Nuclear Energy Use Case – A Combatant Command Perspective
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) was an early adopter of nuclear power and pioneered research of mobile nuclear energy. In addition to the well-documented U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion program, the U.S. Army constructed eight…
