​Advanced Fuel Development
We synthesize and analyze advanced fuel candidates, to gain fundamental insights into grain boundary characteristics, fission gas transport, and material properties.
We analyze the redox chemistry of UO2 and barrier materials to predict behavior in repositories. Additionally, we synthesize complex oxides to structurally immobilize long lived actinides.
We are developing machine learning interatomic potentials to enable highly-accurate simulations of nuclear materials under conditions relevant to reactor operation.
Internal Gelation for
Fusion, Fission, and Space Systems
Utilizing a unique internal gelation process, we synthesize microspheres for a variety of applications, including materials for advanced fission fuels, fusion, and space applications.
