Professional Experience:
Dr. Billone is a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Argonne Laboratory. He has 35 years of experience in modeling the behavior of reactor materials in fission and fusion environments and in pre-test planning and post-test analysis of single-effects and integral-performance experiments conducted to determine the behavior of metals and ceramics under normal and accident reactor conditions. He has been particularly adept at coordinating international analytical and experimental research efforts dedicated to better understand the behavior of reactor materials, especially fission-reactor fuel-cladding and fusion-reaction tritium-breeding and structural materials. Dr. Billone also serves as Manager of the Irradiation Performance Section and the Irradiated Materials Laboratory within the Nuclear Engineering Division.
