MSE Seminar: Fueling the Future: Universities’ Vital Role in Advancing Nuclear Reactor Technology
Abstract In recent years, interest in advanced reactor designs (e.g., TerraPower’s 345 MWe Natrium reactor and Oklo’s 1.5 MWe microreactor) has soared. Their success hinges on understanding and predicting fuel behavior, which is vital for securing NRC approval. Fuel qualification is complex and involves collaboration between DOE labs, industry, and regulators, but what about universities? […]
