New publication 🥳☢️: Using a combination of synchrotron diffraction and spectroscopy courtesy of Rossendorf Beamline, we show how the chemistry of Ln-ThO2 oxides varies between the long- and short-range regimes. Published open access in ACS_Omega ⚛️ FZ Jülich ENERGIE UND KLIMA / Energy & Climate pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Laughed far too much at this 😂

Are you interested in one of the most heterogeneous and wildly used nuclear fuels for energy production? ☢️ Last week we hosted the Transient kick off, a @BMBF project devoted to MOX spent fuel science and disposal with @HZDR_Dresden and SCK CEN watch this space in the future 🥳

👏👏👏

Have you ever wondered how UO2 nuclear fuel structurally responds to the effects of high pressure from He bubble formation due to radiation decay + water contact? e.g conditions in a geological repository? We were at ID15B European Synchrotron this week to test this! 🥳☢️FZ Jülich ENERGIE UND KLIMA / Energy & Climate

Nice work against coming from my colleagues 🤓🥳👏

First day of the #Atalante2024 conference on nuclear chemistry for sustainable fuel cycles - very excited to hear everything fun and exciting that is nuclear fuel science here in lovely Avignon, France 🇫🇷☢️🧬⚗️

Day 2. At #Atalante2024 with a great talk from Lewis Blackburn on awesome ceramics work coming out of ISL_Sheffieldᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ for excess plutonium disposal in the UK

Fantastic presentation from Daniil Shirokiy , PhD student in my group, on the variable chemistry in Cr-doped UO2 as it occurs as spent nuclear fuel. 🥳🥳🥳 #atalante2024

Day 3 of the #Atalante2024 nuclear conference and I’m up, talking additive UO2 fuels and having lovely chats with the legendary Xiaofeng Guo from Washington State Uni. ☢️🥳

New publication!; We studied the radiation tolerance of Ce-doped LaPO4 monazite solid solutions to a simulate a minor actinide wasteform. Critically the work indicates that when present as "uneven" solid solutions, they are most radiation intolerant!! 🥳 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thank god 🙄😅

Attending the 68th #IAEAGC and interested in nuclear safeguards? Then join our panel discussion today at 4pm in M4, with inputs from Noah Mayhew from VCDNP, @alberto_muti from VERTIC , and Julian Schäfer from VeSPoTec .

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Bank of America scores nuclear as a 'medium' investment risk Lower risk than wind, the same risk as battery storage

Dear Students, do not miss opportunity to attend ☢️SPCA school European Synchrotron just before the JDA conference on 16-18th of March, 2025. Registration fee of 50 euros covers everything - accomodation, meals, lectures and beamline tours at ESRF synchrotron!

PhD position open!: We are looking for someone a part of the HITEC program Forschungszentrum Jülich | @[email protected] to work on high entropy materials using joint experimental and computational AI techniques - please share or pass onto those who maybe interested!!!:) hitec-graduate-school.de/lw_resource/da…

I am also tired of the ugly direction this app has gone, find me on blue sky or Mastadon at: spiceyparmigiana 🥳👋🏻

Nuclear power contributes to nearly 20% of the electricity generated here in the U.S. and is extremely dense. One uranium pellet is equivalent to 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas – the nuclear renaissance starts NOW!
