SUMMARY:Breeder Blanket Design in Fusion Reactors: Innovations and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:IDOM has been contracted by UKAEA to develop a novel breeder blanket design concept to be used in the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) Fusion Power Plant. The STEP programme aims at accelerating the delivery of sustainable fusion energy thus\, IDOM’s task was to develop an innovative conceptual design for a breeder blanket that is overcoming the various challenges facing the existing breeder blankets’ designs. \nIn this webinar\, the speakers will give an overview of IDOM capabilities and experience in Fusion Energy\, introduce the breeder blanket technology and working principals. Then\, the speakers will talk more specifically about their recent experience and involvement in the STEP project explaining the methodology adopted to develop the breeder blanket conceptual design proposal for the STEP programme. \nCredit: EUROfusion\nThis methodology involved conducting a series of analyses on different breeder blanket designs covering the material properties and their compatibility\, the design configuration\, the neutronics analysis\, the thermal-hydraulics analysis\, a preliminary structural analysis\, safety aspects\, and waste segregation and disposal. These analyses were conducted to identify the design features and constraints of each of those designs and to understand the challenges facing them to be able to come up with an innovative conceptual design proposal that combines the advantages and overcomes the challenges. \nSpeakers\n  \nFrancisco Calvo  -Project Manager in IDOM's Nuclear Department\, mainly working on projects related to advanced mechanical design and computational analysis. \nSergio Sádaba -  Technical Specialist in IDOM's  Nuclear Department responsible for design-by-analysis in thermo-mechanical components. \nJorge Fradera - Nuclear Engineer at IDOM. He is a senior nuclear analyst\, tritium expert\, CFD specialist\, scientific applications programmer and fusion technology developer. \n\nRegistration\nPlease register via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=971035&eventID=1533&CSPCHD=001001000000mpeUf191iYOK2rikbLluYjTTlUxWI7inZrwFhk" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\n

SUMMARY:Materials for the Energy Transition Roadmap Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Henry Royce Institute for advanced materials will be hosting the Materials for the Energy Transition Roadmap Webinar on 15th June 2020 in collaboration with the Institute of Physics (IOP). \nThe UK has become the first major economy in the world to pass a net-zero emissions law\, setting an ambitious target to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050 (as recommended by the Committee on Climate Change’s (CCC) 2019 Report). The development and adoption of more energy-efficient materials is an important enabler for the UK to achieve this goal. \nRegistration\nRegister via the Institute of Physics website. The programme of the event is also available on this website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=956362&eventID=1503&language=1&CSPCHD=003001000000DZBoAFvfclzja1TPOLQb1nG9idgjtOzvosGry2" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:IOP Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series: Micropower from Gamma Fields
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on recent results in the development of a diamond gamma-voltaic: a device that generates power from ambient gamma fields. Gammavoltaics is a nascent field and this work represents the first steps towards the concept becoming a reality. \nSpeaker \nRobbie Mackenzie is a PhD student at University of Bristol. He completed his MSci in Physics  in 2016\, spending some time as an engineer in the semiconductor industry before returning to start his PhD under Professor Tom Scott in late 2017. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this talk via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=963808&eventID=1518" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nContact: \n\nIoP Conferences – Claire.Garland@iop.org\, 07881 923 142\nIoP Nuclear Industry Group – Dale.Mcqueen@nda.gov.uk\n\n\nInstitute of Physics Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series\nIn collaboration with:

SUMMARY:Game Changers Lunchtime Technology webinar
DESCRIPTION:On the 2nd June from 12 - 1pm\, Game Changers are starting Lunchtime Technology talks on Zoom. Each session they will feature 2 innovative projects that have been funded through the Game Changers programme.  \nThe opening session will feature:  \n\n\nDetecting hydrogen at range – Dr David Stothard\, Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics\nThe generation of hydrogen through corrosion or radiolysis is a common phenomenon encountered across Sellafield and can be thought of as a concern or a useful mechanism to monitor the condition of an asset.  In either case\, it is highly advantageous to detect over extended ranges\, without needing to directly deploy instruments in difficult to reach areas. \nIn this talk\, David will present a standalone remote hydrogen detection system which is capable of measuring hydrogen down to a concentration of 0.05%\, over distances between 0.1 to 100m.  Recently tested in a successful active deployment\, Fraunhofer’s system uses only light to make measurements meaning that hydrogen can be detected without placing operators or instruments in sensitive or hazardous areas. \n\n\n\n\nExtending the life of battery powered sensors – Professor Bernard Stark\, Sensor Driven\nTraditional sensors constantly use battery power\, regularly sleeping\, waking and measuring when often there is nothing of interest to measure. This typically limits battery lifetime to a few years. \nSensor Driven have developed unique microchips that can extend battery lifetime to decades using minuscule amounts of energy directly from transducer signals\, or from leakage currents\, to wake up the measuring electronics and take a reading. \nIn this talk\, Bernard will show how this new technology can be used to monitor important information relating to movement\, moisture\, temperature\, noise and more\, and present results from recent radiation testing.  Considerably extended battery life may have significant potential for Sellafield where sensors need to be used in difficult to reach areas and challenging environments. \n\n\nHow to access\n[button link="https://www.gamechangers.technology/lunchtime-technology-talks/" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nThe webinar will be via Zoom - Meeting ID: 835 5574 7161.

SUMMARY:IOP Nuclear Industry Group webinar: Space Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear power - in the form of radioisotope power systems (RPSs) - has been used to power many of the most significant space missions during the last 50 years. For almost all the missions to date the radioisotope has been Plutonium 238. \nHowever Plutonium 238 is very expensive and difficult to make and the worldwide availability is so limited that missions using it can only be considered occasionally. There is an alternative\, Americium 241. Whilst it is a waste to the nuclear industry\, Americium 241 is also a heat producing radioisotope that has similar properties to the Plutonium 238 used in RPSs. \nSpeaker \nTim Tinsley currently holds the role of Account Director for Special Nuclear Material at the National Nuclear Laboratory. In addition he manages the NNL’s portfolio of work related to space\, including power and propulsion\, and radioisotopes. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this talk via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1516/home" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nContact: \n\nIoP Conferences – Claire.Garland@iop.org\, 07881 923 142\nIoP Nuclear Industry Group – Dale.Mcqueen@nda.gov.uk\n\n\nInstitute of Physics Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series\nIn collaboration with: \n \n \n \nFurther talks in this series will be held on: \n\nTuesday 26th May\, 13:00 – Tom Wallace-Smith\, University of Bristol (Diamond Batteries)\nTuesday 2nd June\, 13:00 – Robbie Mackenzie\, University of Bristol (Gamma Voltaics)
