The Physics & Astronomy Colloquium Series presents Anna S. Erickson of Georgia Institute of Technology, discussing "Fueling Innovation: Advancing Nuclear Nonproliferation Solutions with EFI" on September 6.
Abstract: The promise of nuclear energy as a clean, reliable power source is tempered by the persistent threat of proliferation. To realize the full potential of nuclear power while safeguarding against its misuse requires innovative solutions. The Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation (ETI) is at the forefront of developing these solutions by uniting academia, industry, and national laboratories while creating a dynamic ecosystem for research and development focused on nuclear nonproliferation.
In this seminar, I will primarily discuss the Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation (ETI), representing a team of fourteen institutions of higher education and twelve national laboratories, committed to promoting the spirit of collaborative intelligence. The unique mission of the ETI Consortium is to direct the research and innovation to enable the technologies that support the NNSA’s mission, to train the next-generation of human capital, and to bridge the gap between the university basic research and national laboratories mission-specific applications. The differentiating approach that we adopt to support the mission is to create a truly collaborative environment: the umbrella of data science to support the critical areas of enabling research of novel detectors and advanced manufacturing in nuclear nonproliferation.
I will conclude the seminar with a brief overview of the research at the GT’s Laboratory for Advanced Nuclear Nonproliferation and Safety, including recent developments in antineutrino monitoring of nuclear reactors and active interrogation of cargo containers in support of homeland security.
