Users Meeting is not just a way to learn more about the NSUF, its capabilities and ongoing research; it is also a great opportunity to meet other students, scientists and engineers who are interested in responding to NSUF’s calls for proposals. Users Meeting supports NSUF as a model for the laboratory of the future, where collaborative research and shared resources among universities and national laboratories will help prepare a new generation of nuclear energy professionals. The week’s events are free of charge for students, faculty and post docs as well as researchers from industry and national laboratories who are interested in materials, fuels, post- irradiation examination and reactor- based technology development. In the seven years since its inception, the NSUF Users Meeting has hosted 680 participants from 30 countries and 38 U.S. universities. Support to help defray travel, hotel and meal expenses is offered to university faculty and students on a competitive basis. What to expect at Users Meeting Users Meeting kicks off with an introductory workshop to the NSUF, which includes a description of current and upcoming research capabilities offered by INL and its university partners, a briefing on the solicitation process and a welcome from DOE. Each year, Users Meeting offers a number of workshops and courses for students to participate in.These may vary from year to year, but courses generally focus on a variety of topic-specific areas, such as in-reactor instrumentation, fuels and materials, or how to conduct radiation experiments. Participants are always offered an opportunity to tour the Advanced Test Reactor as well as INL’s Materials and Fuels Complex, where many post-irradiation examination facilities are housed. Users who are not able to attend in person have the ability to participate in the meeting online. For more information, visit our website, nsuf.inl.gov.
