Research involves a wide spectrum of issues crucial to the nuclear industries. Investigations are ongoing into the interaction of neutrons and other radiation with materials used in:

• nuclear reactors
• nuclear data analysis and evaluation
• radiation transport studies
• conceptual designs of fusion power systems and their engineering, safety, and environmental implications
• plasma wall interactions
• analysis of reactor accidents
• safety studies

Facilities include a versatile 100-Mev electron linear accelerator, time-of-flight and associated instrumentation, a critical reactor facility, a three-dimensional laser Doppler anemometer, and miscellaneous nuclear radiation equipment and computational aids.
