In an international industry, regulators cross the border too
Since nuclear physics works the same in Ontario as it does in Tennessee, the industry has been trying to create a reactor that can be deployed on both sides of the border. Now, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission have decided that some of their rulings can cross the border too.

This special event highlighted the 2021 Student Conference Pitch Your Research winner, Haozheng Qu. Haozheng is a PhD student in the Department of Materials Engineering at Purdue University, supervised by Prof. Janelle P. Wharry in the Microstructure Science Group. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering (2018) and MS in Industrial Engineering (2020) at Purdue University. Haozheng delved into his recent materials research: An EBSD analysis of transgranular stress corrosion cracking (TGSCC) propagation in the 304L austenitic stainless steel.
