MIT Nuclear Reactor Lab's Lunch and Learn
Dec 2, 2025
11:45am – 1:00pm
Building NW12
222 Conference
The MITR is a highly capable machine designed for the testing needs of the '70s era nuclear industry.
A new reactor, MITR-III, is needed to support the future development of advanced reactor technologies. In this talk hear from Sara Hauptman about optimization of the core, Mary Foxen about design of the housing and structural components, and Faris Fakhry about predictive neural network modelling of in-core experimental facility characteristics.
We hope to see you there! This is open to the MIT community, feel free to invite friends/colleagues from other parts of campus. There will be pizza!
