Neutron Measurement Laboratory

The “Ex core Microreactor Monitoring (EM 2 for Autonomous Operation” project that Prof. Di Fulvio leads is funded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and aims to develop new concepts of integrated microreactor monitoring that enable their unattended and reliable operation over their lifetime.

We seek motivated undergraduate students from University of Illinois-Chicago for a summer internship on this topic.

Apply online by March 1st:

Congratulations to Ming Fang and Jianxin Zhou. Ming Fang is the recipient of the 2022 J. D. Williams Student Paper Award (2nd place) at the INMM meeting and Jianxin Zhou the Best Graduate Presentation (Radiation Measurements topic) at the ANS Student Conference! Different conferences, same high research quality!

Ming presented his work on “Boron Coated Straw-based Neutron Multiplicity Counter for Neutron Interrogation of TRISO Fueled Pebbles”, and Matthew presented the work entitled “Characterization of Shielded Special Nuclear Materials through Neutron Spectroscopy”.

Congratulations to Ming for winning the Second Place Student Paper Award!

Ming presented his work on “Enabling PSD-capability for a High-density Channel Imager”

and Jianxin presented the work entitled “Neutron Light Output Response and Anisotropy of Deuterated Trans-stilbene”

 

Ming presents his work on the “Quantitative Imaging and Automated Fuel Pin Identification in Passive Gamma Emission Tomography” at the 2020 IEEE NSS-MIC.

NML alumnus Muzammil Siddiqui, who was a recipient of a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Nuclear Engineering Scholarship funded by the NRC, is doing inspections in the field at a nuclear plant. Keep up the good work, Muzammil, and congratulations on your new job!

Congratulations to Noah Rebei, for the Best Poster Award at the 2020 Virtual Summer Research Symposium of the UIUC Young Scholars Program. Noah presented his work on “Quantitative Imaging Algorithm for a Non-Destructive Holdup Monitoring Robot”.

 

Congratulations to Stuti for winning the Best Paper award, second place.
