IAEA project aims to develop polymer irradiation model
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a new coordinated research project (CRP) aimed at creating a database of polymer-radiation interactions in the next five years with the long-term goal of using the database to enable machine learning–based predictive models.
Radiation-induced modifications are widely applicable across a range of fields including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental applications, and exposure to radiation is a major factor when considering materials used at nuclear power plants.
PHYSOR 2022 and ANS Pittsburgh Section are committed to encouraging underrepresented persons to enter and flourish in the field of nuclear reactor physics. In fulfilling this commitment, we are supporting student grants for the PHYSOR 2022 Conference, May 15–20 (Pittsburgh, PA).
The grants are for current students who identify with underrepresented and historically excluded groups. All underrepresented students are highly encouraged to apply, including:
Students from any discipline are welcome to apply and are not required to be ANS members.
