Here’s to 40 years of discovery and the researchers who continue to make it possible!
An atlas is used to understand geography, but the ATLAS DOE Office of Science User Facility @argonne is used to understand the building blocks of the world—atomic nuclei.
For 40 years, this tool has provided incredible insights into nuclear structure: anl.gov/article/atlas-four-d…

From concept to first light. 💡
Ground was broken in 1990 on Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS).
Five years later, the APS produced its first X-rays, beginning a new era of discovery - anl.gov/our-history/timeline

Fourteen years of testing. One massive step forward for advanced reactor safety. Read more about what Argonne researchers learned from one of the most comprehensive studies of passive safety technologies to date. ⬇️
BEAT THE HEAT 🔥: Passive safety systems remove heat from a nuclear reactor using basic physics — no human intervention, electrical power, or cooling pumps required.
Learn about @Argonne’s 14-year research effort to better understand these technologies to make new reactor designs safer, cheaper, and faster to build: energy.gov/ne/articles/more-…
