Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other institutions have developed a remote test that can produce key information about the condition of stainless-steel reactor components, minimising outage time. The findings are reported in the journal Acta Materiala in a paper by MIT professor of nuclear science and engineering Michael Short; Saleem Al Dajani (who did his master’s work at MIT on this project and is now a doctoral student at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia); and 13 others.

Nuclear power can play a major role in reducing carbon emissions beyond electricity supply to include the industrial and transportation sectors, a fact that is leading to interest in integrated energy systems (IES), José Reyes, chief technology officer at NuScale Power, said yesterday. Reyes, who is co-designer of NuScale's passively-cooled small modular reactor (SMR), spoke at the International Conference on Climate Change and the Role of Nuclear Power being held this week at the International Atomic Energy Agency's headquarters in Vienna.
