Study mapping U-10Zr porosity informs metallic fuel design
Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have conducted a three-dimensional study of irradiated U-10Zr—uranium alloyed with 10 percent zirconium—across key radial regions, providing new insights into how the material swells, transfers heat, and interacts with the fuel cladding.
U-10Zr was extensively tested in historical sodium-cooled fast reactors and is now attracting attention for use in next-generation advanced reactors.

The Radiant Women in Nuclear: Lunch and Learn will bring together brilliant and prominent women from the nuclear industry to share their stories, experiences, and insights as leaders in nuclear engineering and science. We aim to create a unique platform that celebrates the achievements of women in the field, encourages insightful discussions, promotes equity and inclusion, and empowers the next generation of women in the field. This event is a collaborative effort between the Women in Nuclear Penn State Chapter and the Penn State Engineering Diversity Student Round Table.
Radiant is sponsoring the event. Based in El Segundo, CA, they aim to test the world's first portable nuclear microreactor by 2026, and they are actively building a great team to achieve this goal.
