Japanese researchers test detection devices at West Valley
Two research scientists from Japan’s Kyoto University and Kochi University of Technology visited the West Valley Demonstration Project in western New York state earlier this fall to test their novel radiation detectors, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced on November 19.
Innovations Student Competition
December 12, 2023|1:00–2:00PM (2:00–3:00PM EST)
Available to All Users
The Innovations in Nuclear Energy Research & Development Student Competition (INSC) recognizes published graduate and undergraduate students. Through the award process, the INSC provides winning students with opportunities to present their published work to the broader nuclear energy community. This webinar serves as an opportunity for students who were unable to present at the ANS Winter Conference to show their work to a wider audience.
This webinar features two students with published work in the nuclear fuel cycle technologies area. Claire Griesbach from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural heterogeneity of the buffer layer of TRISO nuclear fuel particles” and Kyle Quillin from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural and nanomechanical studies of PVD Cr coatings on SiC for LWR fuel cladding applications.”
The session will be moderated by Tyler Newitt, Innovative Nuclear Research Integration Office (INR-IO).
