Working to make nuclear energy more competitive

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

“Nuclear power is safe, sustainable, and reliable; now we need to be on time and on budget [to achieve] climate goals” says MIT doctoral student Assil Halimi.

Preparing students for the new nuclear

For his LGO internship in management and nuclear science and engineering, Santiago Andrade worked at Caterpillar in Lafayette, Indiana, where he helped the company explore the potential use of nuclear microreactors to power mining sites.

A new way to assess radiation damage in reactors

One of the most effective ways to control greenhouse gas emissions, many analysts argue, is to prolong the lifetimes of existing nuclear power plants. But doing so requires monitoring the condition of many of their critical components to ensure that damage from heat and radiation has not led, and will not lead, to unsafe cracking or embrittlement.

Machine learning facilitates “turbulence tracking” in fusion reactors

A team of researchers has demonstrated the use of computer vision models to monitor turbulent structures, known as "blobs," that appear on the edge of the super-hot fuel used in controlled-nuclear-fusion research. The super-hot fuel, or plasma, is held inside a tokamak device (right photo). On the left, a "blob" highlighted in yellow is shown in a synthetic image.

Finding the questions that guide MIT fusion research

Plasma Science and Fusion Center

“I’m from the '60s generation,” says Martin Greenwald. “We were very political and always asking, ‘what’s the relevance?’ We wanted our life’s work to mean something.”

Leveraging science and technology against the world’s top problems

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

Forging cross-disciplinary ties and bringing creative people together around a common goal have proven valuable skills as Richard Lester has stepped into positions of ever-greater responsibility at the Institute, including his current role as associate provost.
