Experience with radiation detection, high-purity germanium detectors, data acquisition, photonuclear physics, and Monte-Carlo particle transport modeling is desired. Previous internship experience at a national laboratory is also desired.

--Support modeling and data collection for a project to characterize and analyze irradiated fuel using a high purity gamma ray detector.

--Support the Advance Test Reactor Low Enriched Uranium Fuel Conversion Project in defining technical and functional requirements for new and modified tools and equipment. Work with others to complete a conceptual design Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry summer intern. The student will perform sample preparation, separations, and analyses of environmental samples. A strong background in Analytical Chemistry is desired. Experience working with environmental samples (digestions, extractions, separations, etc) is also desired. The student must be a U.S. citizen and be able to pass a background check. of the ancillary tools and equipment needed for conversion of the reactor

Required Qualifications:
