    • Research Highlight: Steven Skutnik

      A proposal by Steven Skutnik, assistant professor in nuclear engineering, was awarded $755,000 to develop new capabilities for a fuel-cycle simulator called CYCLUS by building on an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) software package for nuclear fuel modeling called ORIGEN.

      “Getting support on this will allow us to investigate and understand the defect evolution in these materials,” said Xu. “What we hope to gain is fundamental insight into the effects of radiation on the alloys so that we can better predict and detect how they will break down over time and adjust the materials accordingly.”
