Description

Is an internship passionate about changing the world's energy future intriguing? If so, we might have just the opportunity you're looking for!

Idaho National Laboratory's (INL) Irradiated Fuels & Materials department is looking for outstanding students interested in nuclear materials. You will work as part of an interdisciplinary team on one or more of several projects.


These projects include:

  • Projects developing the relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties of advanced/additively manufactured alloys used in nuclear energy systems
  • Materials research of nuclear fission and fusion materials used in nuclear energy systems including both experimental and simulation projects that range from the atoms to the engineering scale
  • Experimental and analytical work supporting the Fusion Safety Program which spans the experimental activities conducted at the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) facility with a focus on investigating tritium behavior in materials
  • Modeling and simulation efforts on nuclear fission and fusion materials using MOOSE as the primary modeling and simulation platform.


The student will be encouraged to develop a poster and technical paper documenting their work from the internship for possible use in technical conferences and public forums. This team works a 9x80s schedule onsite in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
