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.”

Session Organizer:
This panel would like to initiate inclusion discussions and increase awareness of the needs. We will hear experts from academia, national laboratory, industry, and ANS about their backgrounds, experiences, and diversity statistics throughout their organization. We will try to come up with practical answers to the three main questions: How can we approach the community and support social inclusion? How to promote diversity and inclusion in PSA? What can be done to attract diverse and underrepresented groups into the PSA area and nuclear? Please join us and share your experiences and suggestions.
