Nuclear Science & Technology Division
Welcome
The Nuclear Science and Technology Division (NSTD) has been a key contributor in the area of research & development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) since its formation in October 2001. NSTD is committed to leadership class research and development that integrates the division's comprehensive staff expertise, strategic resources, and facility capabilities to address the needs and interests of a diverse set of sponsors.
Mission Areas
NSTD consists of two major mission areas that provide a diverse set of activities and capabilities. The Fuels, Isotopes, and Nuclear Materials (FINM) and the Nuclear Modeling, Design, and Safety (NMDS) define the two mission areas in NSTD. Their activities span from the borders of basic science to the development and application of experimental and computational nuclear-related technologies to the design, implementation, and operation of novel engineering processes and systems. The division also provides key technical support in nonnuclear applications such as environmental management, nanotechnology, high-temperature heat transfer, hydrogen production, chemical combustion, and robotic operations.
