| Oct 16-22, 2011 | Yina HUANG has attended ICFRM15 from Oct 16-22 2011, presented one poster and submitted one paper "Microstructural evolution in proton irradiated NF616 at 500ˇăC to 3 dpa" to Journal of Nuclear Materials during the conference. |
| Oct 21, 2011 | Jianchao He, a visiting Ph.D. student from University of Science & Technology Beijing, has joined the group for 1.5 years starting 21 October 2011 |
| Sep 26-27, 2011 | Clarissa Yablinsky visited GSI Helmholtz Institute in Darmstadt, Germany to discuss future plans to use swift heavy gold ions to irradiate UO2. |
| Sep 19-23, 2011 | Clarissa Yablinsky received second poster prize for her poster titled "Investigation of Swift Heavy Ion Damage in CeO2" at the F-BRIDGE Summer School. The school, held in Cambridge, UK from Sept 19-23, was on the synergy between modelling and experiments for the investigation of nuclear fuels and materials under irradiation. |
| Sep 6-16, 2011 | Dr. Yina Huang went to CAES (Center for Advanced Energy Studies) at Idaho Falls from Sept 6-16 and successfully carried out Atom Probe Tomography experiments on NF616 irradiated at ATR (Advanced Test Reactor) |
| Summer, 2011 | Tyler Gerczak spent 9 weeks at Oak Ridge National Laboratory through the Higher Education Research Experiences program. During his stay he worked in the lab of Dr. John Hunn in support of the DOE's Advance Gas Reactor Fuel Program. The work focused on microstructural characterization of the SiC layer in TRISO fuel and understanding the fission product interactions in TRISO fuel through post irradiation examination. |
| Sep 1, 2011 | Beata Tyburska-Pueschel joined the group as a postdoctoral associate. Sam Briggs joined as a PhD student. |
| Summer, 2011 | Kevin Field completed a eight week research fellowship at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology organization (ANSTO) through the EAPSI program. Research activities included the use of TEM to observe radiation damage, microchemistry, and precipitate evolution of an ion irradiated ferritic-martensitic steel. The fellowship offered international research experience and networking. (click here for details) |
