by Dr. N. Anne Davies at the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC).
Focused Materials Workshop
Can DOE establish a better strategy for developing materials for use in a
harsh radiation environment?
-
ORNL is organizing a Fission-Fusion International Workshop for the
Spring 2004 to address this question and develop a roadmap.
-
Objective is to determine if the combination of advances in high-end
computing with existing (i.e. fission reactors) and near term (i.e. spallation
neutron source) facilities, can lead to development of reliable and
experimentally validated modeling and simulation tools for the design and
performance of advanced nuclear materials.
-
This workshop will bring together an outstanding group of both domestic
and foreign material and modeling/computing experts. Many experts will
be from outside of the world’s fusion community.
