Advanced science and technology to advance science and technology
Argonne maintains a comprehensive suite of research facilities central to the laboratory’s scientific enterprise. From particle accelerators to automotive testbeds, these facilities give Argonne scientists and their collaborators access to tools and techniques found in many instances nowhere else.
Argonne’s Passive Natural Convection Shutdown Heat Removal Test Facility provides the capability to conduct safety experiments in support of modern reactor design.
Argonne’s pressure drop experimental loop for investigation of core assemblies in advanced nuclear reactors (PELICAN) generates verification and validation data for modern reactor designs.
