English Description
Advanced nanomaterials play a critical role in improving the performance and safety of nuclear reactors. In this course, we will discuss in detail the use of engineered nanomaterials for the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle (uranium extraction), fuel fabrication, radioactive gas capture and storage, a new generation of corrosion-resistant reactor core materials, radiation sensing, and monitoring, and nuclear waste treatment and reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. -
