Departments

• Engineering Analysis
  Development and application of new and innovative analysis methods for both nuclear and non-nuclear systems
• Nuclear Systems Analysis
  Reactor & Fuel Cycle Analysis, Simulation and Methods, Applied Physics & Nuclear Data, and Criticality Safety
• Research & Test Reactor Conversion
  Development of technology necessary to enable the conversion of civilian facilities using high enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels and targets
• Nonproliferation and National Security
  Limiting risk of nuclear weapons proliferation through export control policy support, safeguarding of special nuclear materials in the Former Soviet Union, development of information management systems
• System Technologies & Diagnostics
  R&D related to instruments and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for characterization of materials and determination of system parameters related to different energy systems (including fossil, transportation, and nuclear). The Department also develops sensors and technologies for non-energy-producing applications such as homeland security and biomedical engineering
