  • Ultra-selective ligand-driven separation of strategic actinides
    Ultra-selective ligand-driven separation of strategic actinides Gauthier J.-P. Deblonde, Abel Ricano & Rebecca J. Abergel Metal ion separations are critical to numerousfields, including nuclear medicine, wasterecycling, space exploration, and fundamental research. Nonetheless, operational conditionsand performance are limited, imposing compromises between recovery, purity, and cost.Siderophore-inspired ligands show unprecedented charge-based selectivity and compatibilitywith harsh industry conditions, affording […]
  • Separation Anxiety No More: A Faster Technique to Purify Elements
    Separation Anxiety No More: A Faster Technique to Purify Elements June 4, 2019 The actinides – those chemical elements on the bottom row of the periodic table – are used in applications ranging from medical treatments to space exploration to nuclear energy production. But purifying the target element so it can be used, by separating […]
  • Enhancing Nuclear Plant Economics and Safety Through Online Monitoring and Prognostics
    SPEAKER: JAMIE COBLE DATE/TIME: MON, 04/29/2019 at 4:00PM - 5:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Spring 2019 Colloquium Series Enhancing Nuclear Plant Economics and Safety through Online Monitoring and Prognostics Abstract: The current approach to operations and maintenance (O&M) relies primarily on periodic inspection and maintenance activities scheduled to preclude in-service degradation and failure; however, this […]
  • 21st Century Nuclear Energy
    SPEAKER: TODD ALLEN DATE/TIME: MON, 04/22/2018 - 4:00PM TO 5:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Spring 2019 Colloquium Series Abstract: An interesting new narrative has arisen around the need for nuclear energy and how an emerging set of privately funded companies are attempting to take a new set of nuclear energy products to commercialization. This presentation will describe […]
  • Hastening Innovation in Materials for Energy
    SPEAKER: DR. MICHAEL P. SHORT ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING MIT DATE/TIME: MON, 04/15/2019 - 4:00PM TO 5:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Spring 2019 Colloquium Series Abstract: Energy production and availability is the root driving force behind economic development and prosperity. The energy sector employs 5% of all Americans, with 7% of new job growth attributed […]
  • Berkeley Students Win Awards at 2019 ANS Conference
    Berkeley Students Win Awards at 2019 ANS Conference Wednesday, April 10th, 2019 Undergraduate students Andrew Dong and Emily Vu won awards for their presentations at the American Nuclear Society Conference this past week, April 4-6, held in Richmond, Virginia.
