What does the hard work of science look like? Here is getting ready for a creep test.

How do you examine a modern heat exchanger with a complicated geometry? Our research partners at EPRI are figuring it out. (BTW that is a real researcher hand. Not a hand model!)

Science is fun. Look what the ⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ students get to do to cutting edge heat exchangers to see what it takes to break them.

Kicking off this year’s seminar series with Prof. Igor Jovanovic from U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences and NNSA CVT

Lot's of smart people from ⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ aiming to build a better heat exchanger

Ever wonder what it looks like to see if a material is strong enough for a heat exchanger. Here is how we do it.

NHE students doing hands-on experimental work! PhD candidate Ian Jentz(L) and undergraduate Erik Kernozek(R) lowering the cover back onto the Instron tensile testing machine hydraulic power unit after maintenance.

Learn more about compact heat exchangers! ⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ member MPR Associates is presenting at ICONE27 icone27.org.

The ⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ University of Michigan team has moved into their new thermal-hydraulic lab and is ready to do some heat exchanger testing!

The ⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ NC State team is getting ready for creep tests at 760 C (1400 F) to investigate the high-temperature material performance!

⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ engineers are participating in ASME’s Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code week committee meetings in Atlanta, GA! Included are sessions on high temperature reactors, general nuclear design, and in-service inspections.

⚛️NHE Consortium⚛️ University of Michigan PhD student Sheng Zhang is building this loop to test equipment for advanced nuclear reactors using molten salts!

The Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act of 2017 (#NEICA) became public law on September 28. The law includes provisions to accelerate U.S. advanced reactor development, including concepts that may use our compact heat exchangers!

PhD candidate Shaun Aakre closely watches the pressure gauge in anticipation of a heat exchanger rupture. This test will help CompRex, a Wisconsin-based company, to commercialize their compact devices in numerous industries.

Molten Salt Reactors are a hot topic among nuclear energy developers. Work started in the 1960's and today a number of start-up companies are working hard to commercialize these design once again. Find more information @ world-nuclear.org/information-li…

Several graduate researchers are presenting their compact heat exchanger work to nuclear energy innovators and regulators today, at MPR Associates. One of many more steps to come toward viable advanced reactors.
