NSUF 2016 Annual Report

Technical Report Scheele, Laura

The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) and its partner facilities represent a prototype laboratory that utilizes a distributed partnership, with each facility bringing exceptional capabilities to the relationship including reactors, beamlines, state-of-the-art instruments, hot cells, and equally important, expertise. These capabilities and people together create a nationwide infrastructure that allows the best ideas to be tested using the most advanced capabilities. Through the NSUF, researchers and their collaborators are building on current knowledge to better understand the complex behavior of materials and fuels in a nuclear reactor. The NSUF’s partnership program in 2016 included eight universities, one research and educationmore »« less

The Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility Advancing Nuclear Technology

Conference Allen, T R ; Benson, J B ; Foster, J A ; ...

To help ensure the long-term viability of nuclear energy through a robust and sustained research and development effort, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) designated the Advanced Test Reactor and associated post-irradiation examination facilities a National Scientific User Facility (ATR NSUF), allowing broader access to nuclear energy researchers. The mission of the ATR NSUF is to provide access to world-class nuclear research facilities, thereby facilitating the advancement of nuclear science and technology. The ATR NSUF seeks to create an engaged academic and industrial user community that routinely conducts reactor-based research. Cost free access to the ATR and PIE facilities ismore »« less

Overview of the US Nuclear Science User Facilities

Journal Article Kennedy, J. Rory - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

Specialized and often unique and expensive instrumentation, adapted for use on radioactive materials, is essential to conduct research in the area of nuclear energy. Much of this equipment is located in facilities dedicated for such work that have been built and maintained over many decades. The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) was established in 2007 under the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) in order to bring these capabilities together with those innovative ideas from researchers at universities, national laboratories, small business, and industry that might not have regular access to reactors, hot cells, transportation casks, radiologicallymore »« less
Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility Partnerships

Conference Marshall, Frances M ; Allen, Todd R ; Benson, Jeff B ; ...

In 2007, the United States Department of Energy designated the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), located at Idaho National Laboratory, as a National Scientific User Facility (NSUF). This designation made test space within the ATR and post-irradiation examination (PIE) equipment at INL available for use by researchers via a proposal and peer review process. The goal of the ATR NSUF is to provide researchers with the best ideas access to the most advanced test capability, regardless of the proposer's physical location. Since 2007, the ATR NSUF has expanded its available reactor test space, and obtained access to additional PIE equipment. Recognizingmore »« less

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement With Georgetown University Report: National Institutes of Health, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences Clinical and Translational Science Award

Technical Report Tourassi, Georgia ; Lake, Joseph

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is participating with Georgetown University (GU) as a subrecipient in response to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) (U54 Clinical Trial Optional) funding opportunity announcement. This Cooperative Research and Development Agreement is put in to place to facilitate the development and implementation of clinical interventions that demonstrably improve human health is currently a complex, recursive, and inefficient process that leads to delays of years or decades before discoveries in biomedical research result in health benefits for patients and communities.
