August 27, 2024 – Kenya Stump, an executive with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet for over 17 years, has seen the volatility of coal as an energy source: shrinking demand, plant closures, job losses and tougher pollution controls.
The objective of this project is to enhance understanding of aqueous corrosion and hydrogen transport for Zr hydride formation in Cr-coated claddings, as a function of the Cr-coating deposition method (cold spray (CS) or physical vapor deposition (PVD)).

This project will include the analysis of fuel performance under Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) operating conditions and assess if using recycled uranium in Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is viable.
This project seeks to perform baseline studies on surface-treated A709 for corrosion resistance and mechanical properties to understand long-term corrosion protection when subject to periods of sustained and cyclic loading at high temperatures and its potential use in the IMSR®.
Oklo Inc. (Oklo) partnered with Argonne National Laboratory to accelerate the development of open-source and modern simulation tools. The project has an industry-wide impact since it advances the state-of-art simulation to design and build advanced reactor systems.
The objective of this project was to convert spent nuclear fuel into molten-chloride-salt fuel and was intended to demonstrate the streamlined development of fuel salt manufacturing from spent nuclear fuel.
