Team launches advanced-reactor materials study
Engineering Physics Assistant Professor Todd Allen, Materials Science and Engineering Assistant Professors Izabela Szlufarska and Dane Morgan, Engineering Physics Research Professor Kumar Sridharan, Associate Scientist Mark Anderson and Assistant Scientist Lizhen Tan have received approximately $890,000 from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to study the emissivity of metallic structures and fission product transport in TRISO (tristructural isotropic) fuels—both in relation to advanced very-high-temperature nuclear reactor designs. The researchers hope to determine the role of emissivity on decay heat transfer from plant structures via radiative heat loss and to predict the transport of noble and metallic fission products through the TRISO fuel form.
