The Executive Committee of the NSUF Users Organization planned another successful Users Organization Meeting. This meeting was held virtually on July 12th and 13th and featured a fantastic talk from the Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy, Dr. Kathryn Huff.
Not only did this meeting include an exceptional keynote speaker, but it also had segments that covered new NSUF Capabilities and Upgrades. This includes presentations such as High Performance Computing, the new Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) in the Center for Advanced Energy Studies, the Activated Materials Laboratory at Argonne National Laboratory, and more. Attendees heard presentations from students at universities such as Auburn University, The Ohio State University, and Oregon State University on their Rapid Turnaround Experiments. The Executive Committee awarded the Best Student Presentation to Jingfan Yang from Auburn University for their presentation titled "The Origin of Superior IASCC Resistance of Additively Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel After Hot Isostatic Pressing in Oxygenated BWR Water." Congratulations!
During day two of the meeting, university and industry staff presented highlights on recent Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research projects. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a 45-minute interactive workshop led by experts in in situ TEM irradiation, neutron irradiation, or high performance computing. The NSUF would like to thank the Executive Committee for the effort that went into planning this year's Users Organization Meeting.
The NSUF would also like to thank the presenters and attendees for their time and participation.
