Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025
Last year, we proudly launched the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 list to shine a spotlight on the exceptional young professionals driving the nuclear sector forward as the nuclear community faces a dramatic generational shift. We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

An ultrafine grain size of ASTM 14 with a dispersed carbide precipitate having a density of 1013 particles/cm3 has been obtained in Type-316 stainless-steel tubing by repetitive cold working and low-temperature anneals. Such ultrafine grain sizes are unobtainable by using conventional techniques because of the inability to work tubing to large magnitudes without introducing flaws. The fine grain size and dispersed carbides may be a structure that is more resistant to irradiation-induced swelling and embrittlement than conventionally produced tubing. The process may be incorporated into commercial tube-drawing practice with little difficulty.
