Nuclear Engineering Division Overview
[
You can be at the forefront of nuclear energy research and development with Argonne National Laboratory’s postdoctoral and internship opportunities!
Argonne National Laboratory is a leading R&D center that is working on technologies to provide the clean, sustainable and affordable energy that will be needed for U.S. energy security and related economic competitiveness.
We bring together the best minds in science, engineering, and modeling and simulation. We form teams to tackle complex scientific challenges, translating basic science into engineering solutions.
We build and operate large, one-of-a-kind user facilities.
We are at the forefront of energy research and development, and you can be part of it.

The mission of the Nuclear Engineering (NE) Division is to advance the design and operation of nuclear energy systems and to apply our nuclear energy-related expertise to current and emerging programs related to advanced reactor systems and national security and non-proliferation. Currently, we are involved in several programs of national and international importance, including
Gen IV nuclear systems analysis, including development of advanced fast reactor systems for actinide management,
Advanced fuel cycle and repository performance modeling,
Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) design and safety analyses,
National security and non-proliferation programs to support materials safeguards and export controls in Russia, the Newly Independent States (NIS), and elsewhere throughout the world.
Division personnel additionally contribute to improving the operation of existing nuclear energy systems and to resolving issues related to their performance and safety. We have a key role in advancing major Laboratory initiatives in such diverse areas as transportation, hydrogen generation and computational science. Finally, we contribute engineering expertise to the design, operation and decommissioning of major facilities at Argonne and elsewhere.

The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division is a diverse early-stage engineering organization specializing in the treatment of spent nuclear fuel, development of advanced electrochemical power sources, and management of both high- and low-level nuclear wastes. Additionally, the Division operates the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory, which provides a broad range of analytical services to Argonne and other organizations, and the Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Laboratory, which provides independent, standardized battery and fuel cell testing and analysis. Currently, we are engaged in the development of several technologies of national importance, including
Aqueous and pyrochemical processes for the disposition of spent nuclear fuel,
Stable nuclear waste forms suitable for storage in a geological repository,
Fuel cells and hydrogen production and storage for polymer electrolyte and solid oxide fuel cell systems, and
Advanced lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries for transportation and other applications.
Our basic science programs are engaged in research projects such as catalysis and superconductivity that have the potential to impact future energy systems. In our national security programs, nanoscale engineering is enabling us to develop technology to detoxify humans following radiological, biological, or chemical exposure, and nondestructively decontaminate structures such as buildings and monuments in the event of a terrorist attack with a “dirty bomb” or other radioactive dispersal device. Our work is funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy, but we also do work for and with other government agencies, universities, and industrial firms. In the course of our work we generate valuable intellectual property that is available for licensing.
