## Resource

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is on a high-growth trajectory, expanding staff, budget, and infrastructure—with a major new Wilson Street development bringing hotel, dorm, and retail space to town. Science is booming too: construction has begun on the Second Target Station at the Spallation Neutron Source, poised to revolutionize materials research for energy and medicine, while isotopes production aims to reduce U.S. foreign dependence. The lab is also spearheading the DOE’s Genesis Mission, fusing AI, quantum computing, and supercomputing to accelerate discovery and strengthen national security—especially in fusion energy, where AI is designing next-gen reactor materials. They’re pioneering hybrid computing systems to tackle previously unsolvable problems and tackling the energy demands of these powerful machines. Meanwhile, advanced manufacturing via 3D printing is creating reactor components and large-scale metal parts, all while fueling the local Tennessee economy through strategic investments and community support.
