ABSTRACT

Nuclear energy will continue to be a huge part of achieving net zero carbon emissions and fighting climate change. But, we can all agree that no one wants nuclear material where it doesn’t belong. It’s vital to insure safe, long-lasting, and reliable nuclear reactors – and we can do this by protecting the materials that make up the reactors themselves.
