This $500,000 Project Grant award by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the NRC Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA 77.008) supports research at the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop predictive quantum calculations and experiments to design improved scintillator materials for enhanced monitoring of nuclear materials. The project aims to advance scientific understanding and capabilities in this critical area related to nuclear safety and security. Through this 3-year award, UC Riverside will leverage its expertise in materials science, quantum physics, and nuclear engineering to innovate new scintillator technologies that can more effectively detect and monitor nuclear materials. The award reflects the NRC's commitment to funding cutting-edge nuclear research and developing the next generation of nuclear professionals through its scholarship and fellowship programs.
