History

As we celebrate ORNL's historical achievements, our challenge is to build on Alvin Weinberg's notion of a laboratory whose mission evolves and strengthens over time. To that end, we continue to build on ORNL's historic competencies in energy, life sciences, neutron sciences and advanced materials while adding new research missions in the areas of national security and high-performance computing. Equally important, we are literally rebuilding ORNL by undertaking a modernization program that will maintain our laboratory as one of the world's leading scientific research centers.
