Youssef A. Ballout Division Director, Reactor Systems Design & Analysis Abstract: Dr. Youssef Ballout will discuss the historical evolution of reactor technology at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Dr. Ballout will also discuss the three microreactors under construction at INL. These microreactors are leading the path forward for allowing the advanced nuclear industry to bring …
Dr. Ke Sheng Professor and Vice Chair of Medical Physics Department of Radiation Oncology Abstract: Traditional medical physics research focuses on the energy deposition of MV X-rays for radiotherapy and attenuation for kV X-ray imaging. Nevertheless, the secondary particles of X-ray tissue interaction carry rich information that should be integrated and utilized. The presentation will …
Zach McDaniel Director, Partnerships and Grants Abstract: Westinghouse is developing the eVinci™ microreactor to revolutionize how cost-competitive, carbon-free energy is delivered. The eVinci microreactor is a 15MW thermal heat pipe reactor capable of generating 5MW of electricity and is designed to run for approximately eight full power years before refueling. This transportable technology simplifies the …
Francesco Volpe Founder, CEO, CTO Abstract French- and Swiss-based startup Renaissance Fusion strives to build a commercial nuclear fusion reactor by reinventing and synergistically combining three main technologies. The first one is the stellarator: more stable and steady state than a tokamak, but historically complicated to build. Renaissance dramatically simplifies its “coil winding surface”. The …
