U.S. Department of Energy Announces FY21 CINR Awards

Monday, June 28, 2021 - Calls and Awards

North Carolina State University PULSTAR reactor. 
On June 25, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected four projects that will take advantage of Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) capabilities to investigate important nuclear fuel and material applications.

DOE has selected one university, two national laboratory, and one industry led project. These projects will be supported by almost $4 million in facility access costs and expertise for experimental neutron and ion irradiation testing, post-irradiation examination, and technical assistance for design and analysis of experiments through the NSUF.

A complete list of NSUF projects with their associated abstracts is listed on neup.inl.gov.
