Oak Ridge focuses neutron scattering studies on TRISO fuels
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is reporting a development in TRISO fuel research that could help evaluate high-temperature gas reactor fuels. ORNL researchers used the Spallation Neutrons and Pressure Diffractometer at the lab’s Spallation Neutron Source to make neutron scattering measurements on TRISO fuel particles containing high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU).

Nuclear science is providing amazing solutions to problems in life sciences including medicine and agriculture. This Young Members Group Spotlight on Nuclear Careers featured Katherina Stapelmann talking about her research with plasmas and career in nuclear science.
About Katherina StapelmannStapelmann is an assistant professor of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University. She received her PhD in electrical engineering from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, in 2013, where she continued as postdoc (2014) and assistant professor of electrical engineering (2015-2017) before she joined NC State in 2017. Stapelmann’s research interests lie in the experimental investigation of generation and transport of reactive species for life science applications, e.g. plasma medicine and plasma agriculture.
