The MIT Nuclear Reactor Lab’s Lin-wen Hu, David Carpenter, and Kaichao Sun are part of a team led by Oregon State University to work on “Computational and Experimental Benchmarking for Transient Fuel Testing.”
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) have entered into a collaborative research agreement which officially began on October 1, 2015. The two institutions will work together to advance the technologies needed to realize a new class of Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactors (FHRs).
A Penn State team, led by Bernhard Tittmann, will use the research reactor at MIT to study transducers that can take in-pile ultrasonic measurements of nuclear fuels and materials.
Dr. Hu honored with award in the Innovative Solutions category, which recognizes those who collaborate to solve problems and improve the way work gets done.
MIT’s Research Reactor (MITR) plays a critical role not only in the education of MIT students, but on the national stage for advanced nuclear reactor fuel and materials research, according to Lin-wen Hu, the associate director of research development and utilization at the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory.
Brian K. Baum ’10 calls his job “essentially glorified babysitting,” but he’s not watching over his neighbor’s kids. Instead, he is one of a small group of undergraduates who operates MIT’s nuclear reactor.
