🚀 ELINDER “Summer School on Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management” 📍 The European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) is hosting a 5-day Decommissioning Summer School (DSS) from 23 to 27 June 2025 in Ispra, Italy. This unique practice-oriented training also includes visits of the nuclear installations in Ispra and illustrative case studies. 💡 The 2025 Edition of the DSS is organised in the frame of the European Learning Initiatives for Nuclear Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation (ELINDER) ( https://lnkd.in/emn9dma5 ).The course targets students who have completed their first cycle of studies in the fields of engineering, science, and technology, and who would like to enrich their curriculum during the holidays’ time. ❗ Preference will be given to students who are already enrolled in a Master or PhD programme and have no remunerated professional activity. 💰 Participation is free of charge for admitted students. The JRC supports the courses and accommodation. Travel costs might be subject to partial reimbursement through https://lnkd.in/e4NuQbEs 🔗 You can find detailed information here: https://lnkd.in/eySnYypi ❗ The DSS is limited to 40 participants and applications are open until February 28, 2025, 23:59 CEST.  

𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Battelle Energy Alliance and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will foster collaboration between INL and the university, expanding opportunities for students, faculty and researchers. 🤝 Under the MOU, INL and the university will work together in areas such as nuclear fuels and materials, reactor safety, optimizing plant operations and advanced manufacturing, and strengthen collaboration through seminars, teaching new courses and providing internships over the next five years.

Congratulations, Erin Hurley! Great article on an important topic. "I am very grateful for the research assistant opportunities, such as the Plutonium Project and the Contesting Energy Discourses through Action Research (CEDAR) Project, that I have had the chance to participate in at St. Thomas University (CA). These have led me to develop a growing interest in nuclear and energy issues." Check out the article, linked below!

The state-of-the-art EPRI SIFF guidance was adopted which is primarily intended towards probabilistic assessment, and the methodology was extended to include deterministic considerations, in a first of a kind application. Notably, this is one of the first comprehensive SIFF studies undertaken in Europe, acknowledged by an international peer review committee.   Team RELSAFE is privileged to have contributed to this innovative project and we express our thanks to KKL for this opportunity.

ACCESS GRANTED: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) just announced up to $1 million in funding is again available to universities that are interested in sharing their research reactors with other academic institutions. This could include K-12 schools, vocational schools, community colleges, tribal colleges, or other universities and colleges that currently don’t have access to nuclear research facilities. Up to five awards are expected to be announced in May 2025. They will be funded through the Nuclear Energy University Program, which has invested more than $1 billion in U.S. universities and colleges to advance nuclear R&D since 2009.

The Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center (CEMRC) is part of NMSU’s College of Engineering and specializes in radiochemistry and environmental monitoring. Working with national labs and industry partners, CEMRC conducts research on radiation safety, nuclear waste, and environmental protection. The Department of Energy operates the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, to store nuclear waste from defense activities. CEMRC supports WIPP and other partners by monitoring the environment, studying radiation exposure, and providing scientific research.

Another significant step towards a cleaner, more sustainable maritime industry, benefiting both the environment and economy

🎥 Watch the "GO-VIKING Open Lecture on Flow-Induced Vibration: The Numerical Approach" presented by Alexander van Zuijlen. This insightful lecture delves into the role of flow-induced vibrations in engineering fields, exploring fluid-structure interactions through advanced numerical modeling techniques. Learn about the three-field approach linking flow, structure, and mesh dynamics, and discover how different coupling methods affect system behavior.
