Brian Carpman won 2nd place in the poster competition at MSR Workshop 2024 for his poster entitled "Molten Chloride Salt Corrosion of Ultra High Temperature Ceramics" That's two years in a row on the podium for MiHTEE Lab and U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences


Yongfeng Zhang from UW Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics visited us last week. Here's Adam, Farooq, and Arpan showing him around.



Trishelle Copeland-Johnson and Fei Teng from Idaho National Lab visited U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences to run experiments at the world famous Michigan Ion Beam Lab, and they visited the MiHTEE Labs to hear about the exciting work our team is doing on corrosion and material degradation in molten salts and LWRs.

Last month we said farewell to Mohammad Umar Farooq Khan as he left for a position at The Ohio State Fontana Corrosion Center - our rivals on the gridiron, but our friends in the laboratory.


Meet the MiHTEE Lab, where U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences researchers are tackling some of the toughest challenges in nuclear materials science. youtube.com/watch?v=_Ft1AC…

Sophomore Liam and Freshman U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences Bryce are taking samples of used salt for analysis. It's never too early to get involved in productive research with the MiHTEE Lab!


Great visit from Ron Crone and Doug Crawford from Idaho National Lab. We discussed ways to work together to advance nuclear energy using the unique abilities of both of our institutions. Plus, it was a throwback for Doug, who helped build the corrosion labs as a student. U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences

When we can't buy the heaters we want, we make them from scratch! Brian built this prototype heater from NiCr wire and fiberglass insulation. When the design is perfected, we'll use these to power our next generation molten salt thermal convection loops U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences
