Come explore new possibilities in the field of nuclear fuels and materials research!

The Nuclear Science User Facilities program office is excited to announce Foundations of Irradiation Testing: A Workshop for Researchers. This event is for students, faculty and industry researchers eager to expand their expertise in the cutting-edge field of nuclear materials science and engineering. Nuclear materials and irradiation testing benefits from a wide range of technical backgrounds, including but not limited to:

• Chemical engineering
• Chemistry
• Computer science and engineering
• Materials engineering
• Materials science
• Mechanical engineering
• Nuclear engineering
• Physics

As a workshop attendee, you can expect to:

• Gain invaluable insights from NSUF technical experts in nuclear fuels and materials research.
• Gain direct access to national laboratory experts in nuclear fuel, materials, and irradiation testing.
• Obtain essential technical knowledge fundamental to developing a future in nuclear fuels and materials research.

Workshop highlights:

• Seminars on fundamental concepts of nuclear energy materials and irradiation testing (both experimental and computer simulation).
• Case studies showcasing successful irradiation projects and their impact on the nuclear industry.
• Guidance on best practices for successful proposal submissions to NSUF project award solicitations, such as the NSUF Rapid Turnaround Experiments and Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research funding activities.
• Opportunities to ask questions, discuss your research interests and plans with our experts and explore potential collaborations with NSUF partner facilities and scientists.

If you’re new to the field, this workshop will provide a dynamic learning environment to inspire and propel your work, and empower your future in nuclear research.

Information forthcoming.

The 2025 MRS Spring Meeting is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provides a window on the future of materials science, and offers an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.

The TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition brings together more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, business leaders, and other professionals in the minerals, metals, and materials fields for a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary exchange of technical knowledge.

The 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting—Science Shaping Tomorrow—invites attendees to celebrate and strengthen the projects and collaborations among science, policy, and communication that already exist and promote the infusion of scientific and technical expertise into the public discourse and policymaking. Speakers will highlight not only the responses to challenges and crises, but also marvel at what our future could be.
