2017 Year End Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) Post-Irradiation Examination Summary Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) are part of a growing number of Department of Energy (DOE) user facilities in the U.S., and is the only national designated nuclear energy user facility. Through a peer-reviewed proposal process, NSUF provides external research teams cost-free access to reactor, post-irradiation examination (PIE) and beamline capabilities at INL and a diverse mix of affiliated partner institutions at universities, national laboratories and industry facilities located across the country. In Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17), the NSUF sponsored planning, management and execution of PIE activities at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES), and other NSUF partner facilities. The individual projects associated with these PIE activities are a result from DOE awards under the following mechanisms: Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (CINR) awards that include full sample irradiation and PIE, PIE only (using samples from the NSUF Fuel and Materials Library) awards, or Rapid Turn-Around Experiments (RTE). An accounting of FY17 activities for each project is provided in this report.
