" corrosion is boring until you start talking about it" is one of the nicest things someone has ever said about me

I'm honored to hold this title, and to follow the accomplished gents who held it before I did, Brendan Kochunas and Brian Kiedrowski.
Many thanks to my colleagues, my students, and the Schrock family.

The Michigan dinner at the Environmental Degradation Conference is a tradition. Michigan alumni roll deep here because my advisor Prof. Was has had a huge impact on our field. Here we are this week and in 2022. I am glad to continue the tradition. #glowblue @umichNERS

The Michigan Ion Beam Lab is a gem, and I'm fortunate to have it right down the street. I'm stoked to use MIBL and IMTL (another NSUF at @umichNERS) to study IASCC of surface-modified stainless steel with Sunil Chakrapani from Michigan State University.

Our Michigan Ion Beam Lab (MIBL) will host 6 new @GovNuclear #NSUF Rapid Turnaround projects—totaling 600+ hours of accelerator time. These experiments support next-gen nuclear materials & sensors for a safer, more reliable energy future. myumi.ch/15MmM

We were fortunate to host our colleagues from Los Alamos National Laboratory this week to discuss collaborations across several areas of materials science and manufacturing. Tarik learned that riding in the front of a bakfiets is a good way to get around campus.

Great visit to the Materials Science and Chemical Engineering department at @CEASSBU hosted by my pal Prof. Karen Chen-Wiegart. Had a lot of fun chatting with her talented students, and meeting the other inspiring folks in this dynamic department!

Great visit from Ron Crone and Doug Crawford from @INL. We discussed ways to work together to advance nuclear energy using the unique abilities of both of our institutions. Plus, it was a throwback for Doug, who helped build the corrosion labs as a student. @umichNERS

Excellent visit and colloquium from Dr. Ruchi Gakhar of @INL. She has a sprawling and impactful portfolio working to advance molten salt science and technology, including collaborations with several @umichNERS faculty.

@2col6 14 years. I bought it in August 2010 as a first year PhD student. I've moved on to the second edition, but that old book served its purpose well.

Taught the first lecture of NERS 522: Radiation Materials Science II today. This is my worn out book from when I took it as a student, taught by my advisor Dr. Was. It was my favorite class and I'm proud to pass the knowledge on to my students.

@HaasDerek @StephenABoydPh1 @neider_tom @Atomicrod Yup. There is an ORNL report from 1972 by Jim Kroger that in which stainless steel samples went 9 years in a loop with MSRE salt and showed manageable corrosion. 316SS is great for other reasons including well understood radiation tolerance. Def the right choice.
English
@StephenABoydPh1 @neider_tom @Atomicrod 1) Research since the MSRE found that corrosion can be slowed by controlling impurities and redox potential of the salt (see multiple papers out of Preet Singh’s lab at GT). SS 316H is currently approved for use in nuclear components, and relevant high-Ni materials are not.
