Neutron Vision at Los Alamos: Exploring the Frontiers of Nuclear Materials Science
In materials science, understanding the unseen—how materials behave internally under real-world conditions—has always been key to developing new materials and accelerating innovative technologies to market. Moreover, the tools that allow us to see into this invisible world of materials have often been game-changers. Among these, neutron imaging stands out as a uniquely powerful method for investigating the internal structure and behavior of materials without having to alter or destroy the sample. By harnessing the unique properties of neutrons, researchers can uncover the hidden behavior of materials, providing insights essential for advancing nuclear materials and technologies.

The ANS Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division invites you to a special members-only discussion on how the widespread adoption of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation norms will impact the future of advanced reactors.
The U.S. influence on nonproliferation is minimal unless the United States is building and exporting nuclear technology. Centrus, with support from the U.S. Government, will ensure that there is an adequate, domestically produced enriched nuclear fuel available on a scale that is able to support exports of both U.S. nuclear fuel and U.S. nuclear technology. U.S. nuclear energy independence is a prerequisite for the ability to export nuclear fuel and nuclear technology sustainably. Exports are one of the best means to influence other nations to conform with U.S. nonproliferation norms. Widespread adoption of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation norms is more critical than ever since advanced reactors often require more highly enriched fuels which require enhanced protection standards.
PresenterBenjamin Jordan, Manager, Business Development, Centrus
Benjamin is the Business Development Manager for Centrus Technical Solutions. He has over 20 years of experience with manufacturing, engineering, operations management, research and design, and entrepreneurship. He earned a Master of Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Tennessee. Additionally, with the full support of Centrus, Benjamin completed a PhD in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2022. He has obtained certification as a Project Management Professional and is a Derivative Classifier of Centrifuge information.
