One of 17 national laboratories funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, BNL boasts current research in nuclear and high-energy physics, environmental science, bioscience and all manners of energy technology – exactly what you’d expect DOE-managed facility.

But it also explores unique applications to national security – and for much of its 75-year history has been extremely active in medical-imaging research, including science centered around the first U.S. reactor specifically tailored to medical research (the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor, which operated until 2000).
