All three of these projects will be supported by more than $6.3 million in facility access costs and expertise for experimental neutron and ion irradiation testing, post-irradiation examination facilities, synchrotron beamline capabilities, and technical assistance for design and analysis of experiments through NSUF.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>A complete list of NSUF projects with their associated abstracts is available <a href="https://neup.inl.gov/SitePages/FY23_NSUF_Awards.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;
