Plutonium Futures - The Science 2024
I am a research scientist for Pu-bearing nuclear fuel manufacturing and characterization at JAEA, Tokaimura. I have a PhD in nuclear materials science obtained in 2014 from Grenoble University. The topic was the experimental investigation of the Oxygen/Metal ratio of uranium−plutonium mixed oxides with high Pu contents for fast reactors (CEA Cadarache). Since then, my research has been focused on determining the high-temperature properties of MOX fuels, especially for Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors.
