A joint meeting of the Technical Advisory Committees for two research programs funded by the University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering (UNENE) and other industrial partners was held on Campus at the University of Guelph on May 15, 2024.
Professor Peter Tremaine holds the UNENE Research Chair in High Temperature Aqueous Chemistry, established in 2016 as the NSERC/UNENE Senior Industrial Research Chair of the same title. The Chair is funded by NSERC, UNENE, The CANDU Owners Group (COG), the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), all of whom had representatives present at the meeting.
Professor Khash Ghandi holds a recently awarded UNENE University Collaboration Project grant entitled ‘Negative Muons for the Canadian Nuclear Industry’.
The day featured talks by students, Profs. Tremaine and Ghandi, as well as several industry representatives. There were also lab tours, a student poster session, and networking opportunities. Such events are important in bringing multiple industrial and academic collaborators together to share knowledge and plan future research.
