FROM ATOMS TO EARTHQUAKES TO MARS: HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

Researchers solving today’s most important and complex energy challenges can’t always conduct real-world experiments. This is especially true for nuclear energy research. Considerations such as cost, safety and limited resources can often make laboratory tests impractical. In some cases, the facility or capability necessary to conduct a proper experiment doesn’t...

WOMEN IN NUCLEAR ENGINEERING RESEARCH SPECIAL ISSUE

This topic aims to highlight and showcase the high-quality research of women across the entire breadth of the nuclear engineering field, and present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology, with applications to compelling problems.

The NSUF has a history of strong female researchers and scientific staff and we encourage these researchers to participate in this special issue.

Abstracts are due on May 12.

APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR EUROPEAN USER FACILITY NETWORK

(For EU citizens) The OFFERR call for projects has now launched! The goal is to facilitate international cooperation in nuclear research between European Union (and EURATOM associate Members) research organizations, universities, companies and their partners through financing trans-national access to key nuclear research infrastructures.

The first cut-off date is on May 16.
