Applied nuclear science and engineering at Los Alamos

SPEAKER: MARK CHADWICK DATE/TIME: MON, 02/10/2020 – 4:00PM TO 5:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Spring 2020 Colloquium Series Co-hosted with NSSC Abstract:

I will describe research at Los Alamos that is advancing our US nuclear technology capabilities. Some of the applied areas we are working on are described: stockpile stewardship, and nuclear threat reduction. Experimental and simulation work related to our LANSCE facility, and our work at Nevada, are discussed.
