Where is Oak Ridge South Campus?

The South Campus of ORISE, located adjacent to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, concentrates on advanced research support, environmental monitoring, and specialized training in radiation and nuclear sciences. This facility enhances DOE's capabilities in assessing occupational health risks, emergency response, and large-scale scientific user programs.

• Nuclear Science and Engineering: Research fellowships in reactor physics, nuclear materials, and fusion energy technologies.
• Radiation Dosimetry and Bioassay: Develops methods for dose reconstruction and internal/external exposure evaluation.
• Environmental Remediation: Courses and training on site characterization, groundwater modeling, and ecological risk assessment.
• Computational Science: High-performance computing applications for climate modeling, bioinformatics, and materials simulation.
• Health and Safety Training: Advanced workshops on radiological controls, decontamination, and emergency preparedness.
• Interagency Programs: Supports CDC, FDA, EPA, and DoD with research participation in epidemiology, toxicology, and public health.

This campus integrates with ORNL's world-class facilities, providing participants access to unique instruments like supercomputers and neutron sources. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches to solve complex challenges in energy, security, and sustainability. ORISE South Campus plays a critical role in validating scientific data, ensuring research integrity, and training experts for national emergencies involving radiation or hazardous materials.
