Isotope and Materials Science Roadmapping Working Meeting

Location: 995 University Blvd, Idaho Falls, ID 83401, USA

The purpose of this working meeting is to form a collaborative research initiative between CAES universities, the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC, Pocatello), and the INL. Attendees will work to answer the question: "What research facilities are necessary to meet present and future needs in isotope and nuclear materials science?" Contributions from attendees will be used to develop a 5 to 10 year road map for future research capabilities that will support isotope and nuclear material research. One focus will be a proposed pulsed neutron source at the IAC. The road map will serve as a boilerplate for future proposals. Abstracts should focus on current and future production, uses, and characterization of isotopes and nuclear materials (cladding, fuel, etc.). The workshop will include select presentations, breakout sessions, workshop review, and a tour of the Idaho Accelerator Center (transportation there and back provided). Abstract Submission Deadline: June, 8, 2018

Molten Salt Systems for Large Scale Energy Storage

Location:

The University of Wyoming will host a working group meeting on Molten Salt Systems for Large Scale Energy Storage on their campus in Laramie. The CAES meeting will convene a group of active researchers to discuss R&D gaps in the molten salt field, applications across the integrative energy spectrum, and scientific, engineering, and economic drivers impacting molten salt energy storage, transport and transfer.

Joint Workshop: National University Consortium and CAES

Global Materials Working Meeting and Capabilities Tour

Location:

Boise State University will host a Global Materials Working Meeting and capabilities tour on their campus. This meeting will focus on computation materials science, materials for extreme environments, and materials for sensor development. It will also feature a tour of BSU’s new Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering. These workshops are the result of three collaborative research planning meetings held between CAES and INL's major research directorates earlier this fiscal year.
