The Nuclear Workforce of the Future – Opportunities and Needs for the International Nuclear Sector with Mr. Callum Thomas GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT October 31, 2023 Although nuclear energy is by far the largest producer of carbon free electricity on the planet, and nuclear applications in healthcare have been saving lives for decades, most people go through life unaware of the career opportunities within the nuclear sector. The need to attract and retain talented people within the

GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT September 27, 2023 Effective training for employees is an ongoing need for utilities, whether it is for new hires, or personnel changing jobs, new equipment and processes, or changes in the industry. Virtual Reality (VR) training is being used more prominently across many industries and has been shown in certain cases to improve results related to safety, quality, operations, and cost savings. This presentation will cover how we can use VR training in

Off-gas Xenon Detection and Management in Support of Molten Salt Reactors with Dr. Hunter Andrews and Dr. Praveen Thallapally GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT July 26, 2023 Many molten salt reactor designs involve the circulation of a cover gas to remove evolved fission products and maintain an inert atmosphere. The cover gas leaving the reactor core is expected to contain noble and non-noble gases, aerosols, volatile species, tritium, and other radionuclides. To remove these radioactive gases, developing a

Graphite-Molten Salt Interactions with Dr. Nidia C Gallego GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT May 24, 2023 The new High Temperature Reactor (HTR) designs being considered for future Gen IV nuclear reactor deployment include designs utilizing molten salt as the primary coolant. These molten-salt cooled, graphite core designs pose new material compatibility challenges that are not considered within the gas-cooled HTR designs that have been previously built and operated. In MSRs, graphite is not only exposed to fast neutron

Overview of Nuclear Graphite R&D in Support of Advanced Reactors with Dr. Windes GEN IV WEBINAR – 8:30 am EDT April 5, 2023 As arguably the very first nuclear reactor core material, graphite has been utilized in a variety of nuclear applications since Enrico Fermi first stacked up bricks of graphite in a university squash court. But why? Graphite is not the first material that comes to mind when considering the extreme environment anticipated within a nuclear core. Materials with
