Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

Session Chair:
Ashley E. Finan (INL)
Session Organizers:
Brad Tomer (Chief Operating Officer – NRIC, INL)
Sanjay Mukhi (Collaboration Manager – NRIC, INL)
The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC), established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in August 2019 as a national program led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), enables collaborators to harness the world class capabilities of the U.S. National Laboratory System to bridge the gap between research, development, and the energy marketplace to help convert some of the Nation’s most promising advanced nuclear concepts into commercial applications by 2030. This session will outline NRIC’s capabilities to support advanced reactor developers to demonstrate their designs and highlight the benefits of digital engineering with our demonstration platforms. There will be two panels during this session that will address 1) Advanced Construction Technologies and how they can be used in advanced nuclear reactor and 2) a Siting Tool for Advanced Nuclear Development, which helps identify and compare possible siting locations inside the continental U.S. for advanced nuclear facilities based on factors related to socioeconomics, proximity, and safety.
