ORNL Pellet Blaster Makes Paint Stripping Quicker, Safer
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
The cryogenic pellet accelerator, developed at the Department
of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, shoots about
25,000 frozen carbon dioxide pellets per second at speeds up
to 330 meters per second. The pellets strip paint or other
contaminants from the surface, leaving nothing else to clean
up

Reaching New Heights In Global Change Research At ORNL
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National
Laboratory are simulating the environment of the future by
releasing controlled amounts of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere over a small patch of sweetgum trees. The
simulation is designed toaddress the global warming question
of how forests and ecosystems will react to increased carbon
dioxide in the environment
