Not all DOE national labs do weapons stuff. For example, Fermilab (FNAL) is pretty much all open science research. FNAL doesn't even have fences and the guard booth just checks to make sure you have a drivers license if you're driving. Argonne and Brookhaven are a bit more on the defensey side but not as much as say oak ridge or sandia.
- acidburnNSA 4y agoIdaho National Lab and Oak Ridge National Lab are pretty focused on power reactors these days. I have a lots of friends at Argonne National Lab, and some of them work on entirely open source exascale reactor projects like: https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc (ANL) https://mooseframework.inl.gov/ https://mooseframework.inl.gov/ (INL) https://www.anl.gov/mcs/nek5000-computational-fluid-dynamics-code https://www.anl.gov/mcs/nek5000-computational-fluid-dynamics... (ANL) Cool shit.
