Calls and AwardsFirst FY 2021 RTE Call Opens
The first FY 2021 Rapid Turnaround Experiment (RTE) has opened. Proposals are due Thursday, February 25th.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 9 months of award. Prospective researchers are strongly encouraged to request samples from the NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library.RTE proposals are solicited and awarded three times per year. They are reviewed and evaluated for technical merit, relevancy, and feasibility. The number of awards is dependent on the availability of funding.

Researcher HighlightNSUF Researcher Feature: Haiming Wen
Haiming WenThe nearly 500 samples of steels and advanced alloys in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) are part of a giant, seven-year Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) project led by Assistant Professor Haiming Wen of Missouri University of Science and Technology that will contribute to improving alloy performance and durability for advanced nuclear reactors.“The materials in a nuclear reactor are the key to the development and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors,” Wen said. “We want to improve the radiation performance of the materials such as steels.”The approximately $3 million innovative project funded by the U.S.
