Reactor Safety Experimentation
We
design, build, and operate test facilities that provide validation data for a variety
of advanced computational tools. Our corium/concrete
interaction experiments, the
largest of their kind, support development of severe accident codes. Two fluid dynamics
facilities, MAX and NSTF, provide benchmark data for CFD codes and a liquid
sodium rig examines sodium/CO2 interactions for advanced energy conversion applications. [Reactor Safety Experimentation »]

High Power Accelerator Components
Argonne
National Laboratory has developed a liquid lithium charge stripper for use in the
Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) located at Michigan State University. FRIB
will provide intense beams of rare isotopes that cannot be handled by ordinary means,
creating a challenge to find a workable concept for the charge stripper and to test
it in a beamline environment. [High Power Accelerator Components »]

Aerosol Experiments
We have extensive analytic and experimental capabilities to characterize the formation and transport of aerosols formed from the condensation of vapors. Computer codes have been developed to analyze various phenomena related to homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, aerosol agglomeration, and aerosol deposition. [Aerosol Experiments »]

Systems/Component Testing
We research, develop, design, procure, manufacture,
install and test components and systems required for
unique application. This includes the development of
first-of-a-kind large-scale systems and components
with complex requirements such as corrosive/hazardous
materials, high-temperature structural integrity, and
remote handling. [Systems/Component Testing »]
