DOE opens funding opportunity for HALEU transport packages
The Department of Energy announced November 19 that up to $16 million is available through a new High-Assay Low-Enrichment Transportation Package funding opportunity to research, develop, and acquire Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing for transportation of HALEU—using new or modified packages.
20th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics (NURETH-20)
Dr. Annalisa Manera is a Professor of Nuclear Safety and Multiphase Flows at the ETHZurich, and currently on a leave of absence from the University of Michigan, where she has been a Professor in the Nuclear Engineering Department since 2011. Prior to her appointment at the University of Michigan, she was the Head of the Group of “Nuclear Systems Behavior” in the Laboratory of Reactor Physics at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, Switzerland). She is the co-director of the Experimental and Computational Multiphase Flow Laboratory (ECMF) and the High Resolution Imaging Lab. Her research group focuses on the development and application of high-resolution experimental techniques and on the development of high-fidelity multiphysics, multi-scale computational tools for nuclear systems. She holds a M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering (110/110 cum laude) from the University of Pisa and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the Delft University of Technology.
