Doctoral Student In Nuclear Engineering

Third-cycle subject: Physics

Lead fast reactors (LFR) is one of the most promising technologies for the next generation nuclear power (Gen IV). The corrosion in liquid lead is a major concern for LFRs and must be mitigated using different protective methods such as laser welding coatings, MIG weld overlay, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and additive manufacturing. These methods must be tested for both corrosion protection and mechanical performance. This PhD-project will be performed in close collaboration with several industrial partners as well as other institutions and research institutes.

Supervision: Prof. Pavel Kudinov and Dr Peter Szakalos is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission.
