Thompson Igunma’s UF-INL research is creating unique models for molten salt reactors
Igunma
American Nuclear Society member Thompson Odion Igunma is a doctoral candidate in materials science and engineering at the University of Florida (UF) conducting research in collaboration with the Computational Mechanics and Materials Group at Idaho National Laboratory. His work focuses on advanced modeling of the complex interplay between molten salt corrosion, irradiation, and changes in alloy microstructure.
“I see molten salt reactors as a pivotal part of the next generation of nuclear energy,” Igunma said. “Their unique combination of safety, efficiency, and fuel flexibility makes them ideally suited to complement renewables in a low-carbon energy mix.”

Cybersecurity plays an important role in LWR modernization and advanced reactor development, demonstration, and deployment. The current body of NRC regulations (including cybersecurity) is largely based upon deterministic or prescriptive methods. This panel will discuss the use of a risk-informed approach improve the efficiency and effectiveness of nuclear power plant cybersecurity programs. This is a great opportunity to listen to and ask questions from experts in the field.
This session allows meeting attendees to presubmit questions for its Q&A portion.
