Radiation Effects in Ceramic Oxide and Novel LWR Fuels
This symposium is intended to bring together national laboratory-, university-, and nuclear industry-researchers to discuss current understanding of radiation response of nuclear fuel through experiment, theory and computational multi-scale modeling. [Learn more]
Solar Cell Silicon
This symposium focuses on expanded interest in silicon for solar energy and electronics. The growth in the silicon industry has been around 40% over the last three years. In the manufacture of solar cells more than half of the raw material is wasted. It may be added that there is a shortage of silicon feedstock and the prices are above 100 USD/kg. During the cutting of the solar cell silicon wafers half of the metal is lost as swarf. This consists of very fine silicon particles, SiC in the cutting liquid poly ethylene glycol (PEG) and traces of iron and copper. [Learn more]
