Unique Research Asset for Nuclear Innovative Applications
Materials response to harsh irradiation, temperature and corrosive media is preventing the successful exploitation of innovative nuclear fusion, advanced fission technologies for sustainable energy production and human exploration of faraway planets. Specifically, materials degradation and early failures hinder these scientific longstanding endeavours. The current paradigm to tackle these issues is to implement mitigating solutions or to characterise the surrounding environment to understand failure initiation and propagation. URÅNIA shifts this approach by focusing directly on understanding the incubation stage prior to initiation events. In this view, I will: i) create a novel gold…
