Photo Credit to Sarah Stevenson Eleven years have passed since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants has been progressing steadily. Professor Toru Obara's lecture will feature the current status of decommissioning. In addition, an introduction to the Nuclear Innovator Cultivation Program (NICP), an …
Dr. Inge Uytdenhouwen Abstract: To monitor the degradation of nuclear reactor pressure vessel materialsinduced by neutron irradiation; dedicated surveillance programs are in place. Goal of these programs is to evaluate the effect of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties ahead of time compared to the real degradation of the reactor pressure vessel. Here the so …
Dr. Mark B. Chadwick Chief Scientist & Chief Operating Officer for the Weapons Physics Associate Laboratory Directorate, ALDX, at Los Alamos Abstract: I will describe the early breakthroughs in determining DT and DD fusion cross sections in the 1940s. Berkeley played a key role in making tritium in the cyclotron for the first 1943 measurement …
Gregor Hlawaceka Institute for Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, Helmholtz—Zentrum Dresden—Rossendorf, 01328 Dresden, Germany Abstract: I will present some recent results on the high fluence irradiation of metals using gas field ion source (GFIS) based helium ion microscope (HIM)1 . High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a relatively new class of metal alloys composed of …
Prof. Tatsuya Katabuchi and Prof. Toru Obara Toru Obara Abstract: Rotational Fuel-shuffling Breed-and-Burn reactor (RFBB) has been studied as a reactor that can achieve effective utilization of uranium resources and reduction of nuclear waste. In this talk, the concept of the RFBB and the current study of the start-up core design is introduced. Biography: Toru …
