Over the past decade, governments and utilities have been looking at how carbon capture technologies can reduce greenhouse gases. With a DOE Early Career Research Program award, researcher Dave Heldebrant is building off of earlier research progress to not only improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide capture, but also... read more.
Pressurized water nuclear reactors are made up of nickel-base alloy components, such as nozzles and welds, that can crack under stress. Research at PNNL uses PNNL-designed and built equipment to study the microstructural evolution leading up to stress corrosion crack initiation. The results will play a role in regulatory decisions related to inspections and may also influence material, starting condition, and assembly techniques for...
