Education and training to support Canadian nuclear workforce development
Along with several other nations, Canada has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Part of this plan is tripling nuclear generating capacity. As of 2025, the country has four operating nuclear generating stations with a total of 17 reactors, 16 of which are in the province of Ontario. The Independent Electricity System Operator has recommended that an additional 17,800 MWe of nuclear power be added to Ontario’s grid.
2022 ANS Annual Meeting
Jaime Marian is a professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at UCLA. His group focuses on understanding materials evolution under extreme conditions using multiscale computational modeling, and developing efficient computational techniques, taking advantage of large-scale parallel computing capabilities. Specific areas of interest are microstructural evolution and mechanical property degradation in fusion materials, simulations of plastic deformation in alloys, simulations of thermodynamics and phase transformations in functional materials, strength in nanostructured crystals, and simulations of irradiation damage. He received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, and a staff scientist position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has been the recipient of the DOE Early Career Award and is the author of over 100 publications in the areas of irradiation damage in materials, plasticity, deformation, mechanics, and numerical methods.
