ORNL–General Atomics partnership on ceramic matrix composites
A memorandum of understanding has been signed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) with the objective of working together on advanced ceramic matrix composite materials for applications in extreme environments. Materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, corrosion, and mechanical stress are required in aerospace, defense, energy, and other sectors.
According to the agreement, the San Diego–based GA-EMS will use resources from ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to develop “scalable, efficient manufacturing techniques for extreme environment materials including precursors, fibers, composites, and coatings utilized in carbon/carbon (C/C), carbon/silicon carbide (C/SiC), and SiC/SiC composite systems.”

This panel is dedicated to honor the contributions and legacy of Dr. Paul Turinsky, who initially organized the sequence of ANFM meetings starting back in 1987 in Pinehurst, NC. There have been five previous ANFM meetings, with this meeting being the sixth.
Dr. Turinsky mentored many graduate students, postdocs, and researchers during his professorship at NC State University, many of which have had impactful careers in the areas of reactor physics, nuclear fuel management optimization, and uncertainty quantification & sensitivity/data analysis.
This panel will be hosted by a handful of Dr. Turinsky’s former students and mentees to help highlight the broad impact he has had over various technical areas that continue to flourish within the scope of the ANFM meetings and beyond.
