Calls and AwardsRTE 3rd Call for Proposals Opens
Completion of RTE projects is expected within nine months of award.
The second Rapid Turnaround Experiment (RTE) has opened. The RTE award process offers an avenue for researchers to perform irradiation effects studies of limited scope on nuclear fuels and materials of interest utilizing NSUF facilities. Completion of RTE projects is expected within nine months of award. Prospective researchers are strongly encouraged to request sample from the NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library.For more information about the RTE rules and requirements, please go to: https://nsuf.inl.gov/Page/rteRead More

Calls and AwardsRTE 2nd Call Awards Announced
These project awards went to principal investigators from 26 U.S. universities, eight national laboratories, two British universities, and one Canadian laboratory.
IDAHO FALLS -- The U.S. Department of Energy - Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) has selected 37 new Rapid Turnaround Experiment (RTE) projects, totaling approximately $1.6 million. These project awards went to principal investigators from 26 U.S. universities, eight national laboratories, two British universities, and one Canadian laboratory. The NSUF competitively selected these projects from a pool of high-quality RTE proposals submitted during the solicitation period. Each proposal was evaluated based on a variety of factors including technical approach, mission relevance, and scientific-technical merit. The NSUF, managed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), provides unparalleled opportunities for nuclearRead More
