Engineering Experimentation
Reactor Safety Experimentation
We
conduct a wide range of experimental research related
to the safety of existing and future reactor
technologies. This includes stateof- the-art
experiments investigating high-temperature nuclear
fuel melt behavior and materials interactions. We
possess unique facilities that can accommodate the
special needs of reactor materials testing.
Engineering
and Development Laboratory
NE Departments involved:
• Engineering Development and Applications
We have extensive analytic and experimental capabilities to characterize the formation and transport of aerosols formed from the condensation of vapors. Computer codes have been developed to analyze various phenomena related to homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, aerosol agglomeration, and aerosol deposition.
Process
Modeling & Aerosol Laboratory
NE Departments involved:
• Engineering Analysis
We
research, develop, design, procure, manufacture,
install and test components and systems required for
unique application. This includes the development of
first-of-a-kind large-scale systems and components
with complex requirements such as corrosive/hazardous
materials, high-temperature structural integrity, and
remote handling.

• Engineering Development and Applications
Laser and Robotics Applications
We
carry out research and development on laser-based
applications for materials processing, oil extraction
technological enhancements, and aerosol or spray
characterization. Computer simulation and robot task
programming tools are employed to enhance the safety
and efficiency of telerobotics in the decontamination
and decommissioning of nuclear power plants, space
nuclear power systems, and other remote applications.
