NEUP honors young ANS members with R&D awards
Each year, the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) recognizes graduate and undergraduate students for their innovative nuclear energy research. The winners of the Innovations in Nuclear Energy Research and Development Student Competition (INSC) receive honoraria along with travel and conference opportunities, including the chance to present their publications at the annual American Nuclear Society Winter Conference & Expo.

Three corrosion resistant uranium base alloys were corrosion-tested in high temperature water: U-5% Zr-1½% Nb, U-3% Nb-0.5% Sn, and U-3.8% Si. Only the U-3.8% Si alloy retained any degree of corrosion resistance after burnups in excess of 0.1 at. %. Low burnup did not adversely affect the corrosion resistance of the diffusion bond between U-2% Zr alloy and its Zircalloy-2 cladding.
