  2. Oak Ridge National Laboratory evolved from the Manhattan Project ORNL in 1943The Clinton Pile was the world’s first continuously operated nuclear reactor 2 Managed by UT-Battellefor the Department of Energy

  3. Pioneered the production and separation of plutoniumto help win World War II Founded the fieldof neutron scattering Developed new materialsfor science and industry ORNL became one of the great research labs of the 20th century • Made scientific discoveriesthrough advanced computing • Helped to establishnuclear medicine • Explored the healthand environmentaleffects of radiation Overview_0711

  4. We apply our strengths in scienceand technology to six major missions • Advanced materials • Neutron sciences • Ultrascale computing • Systems biology • Advanced energy systems • National and homeland security 4 Managed by UT-Battellefor the Department of Energy Overview_0712 Overview_0801

  5. ORNL Has Had A Long Rich History Of Human Health Research • Radioisotopes for diagnosing and treating disease • Understanding the hazards of radiation on humans • Instruments for detecting and preventing disease • Devices for medical applications Bill and Lee Russell

  6. Transforming the new biology into bioenergy and biomaterials production Developing biobased solutions for energy,the environment, and carbon sequestration Partnering with the University of Tennessee to develop a pilot-scale biorefinery and R&D facility for cellulosic ethanol
