This $222,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to investigate the synergistic effects of irradiation and molten salt corrosion on nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloys. The overarching objectives are to advance the fundamental understanding of molten salt corrosion mechanisms and the interaction between radiation and corrosion at the alloy-salt interface. This multi-year project will utilize a range of computational modeling techniques complemented by experimental characterization to address knowledge gaps in predicting the long-term reliability of structural materials for advanced nuclear reactors that use molten salt technologies. In parallel, the award supports training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as educational outreach to local pre-college students, particularly from underrepresented minority communities, to raise awareness about nuclear energy and related scientific challenges. No subgrants are planned under this award.
