Senior Nuclear Materials R&D Lead: Cladding & Core Testing

Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks a Senior R&D Staff to lead experimental research on nuclear fuel cladding and core materials under reactor conditions. The role involves zirconium alloys, hydrides, and accident-tolerant cladding, with collaboration across ORNL divisions and industry partners. The candidate will develop, apply, and interpret mechanical testing methods, including high-temperature and transient tests, and will work with hot cell facilities to gather post-irradiation data.
