The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) program will hold its annual review from 9-3 p.m. MDT Monday, April 14 through Thursday, April 17, 2025. This hybrid event will include overview presentations by the NSUF program office and select partner facilities, as well as technical highlights from NSUF supported research projects and the user community.

DOE-NE federal program managers, national technical directors, principal investigators and other interested parties are encouraged to attend for information on the NSUF program and its supported work.

Register to attend. 

Deadline for applications: March 28, 2025

The Modeling, Experimentation, and Validation (MeV) Summer School is an intensive two-week on-site program for early career researchers and scientists. This year’s topic will focus on “Tackling Materials Challenges for the Next Generation of Nuclear.”

Physical Sciences Symposia: P01 - Advanced Characterization of Nuclear Fuels and Materials

Recent developments in advanced microstructure characterization, micro-scale testing, and in-situ techniques are increasingly being applied to the evaluation of nuclear fuels and structural materials. These modern techniques now enable us to attain greater insights into the atomic and subatomic structure of irradiation-induced defects, chemical segregation, mass and thermal transport, and other structure-property phenomena at conditions closely representative of in-service nuclear reactor environments. This symposium highlights these state-of-the-art characterization, imaging, and testing techniques (including but not limited to STEM, 4D-STEM, FIB, SEM, APT, nano/pico-indentation, tomography, in-situ testing, etc.) and their application to nuclear fuels and materials.
