Thermochemical modelling of nuclear reactor materials

该提案建议利用首席研究员艾米丽·科克伦博士的热力学专业知识以及CANDU核电集团(COG)的资金和支持，以帮助和加强对核反应堆材料的理解和开发，同时培养和鼓励有意愿的人才来支持加拿大的核工业倡议。此外，Corcoran博士还与国家(加拿大核实验室，CNL)和国际(法国L能源原子等替代能源委员会)合作，为她的研究项目提供技术人员和大量非杠杆资金支持。本申请书中提议的工作的短期目标是协助核工业正在进行的工作，即COG WP22236--硅氧烷涂层的资格鉴定和开发国际核燃料热力学数据库(先进燃料热力学--国际数据库，TAF-ID)。作为Corcoran教授研究计划的一部分，长期目标是为加拿大核工业培训高素质的人才(HQP)，并创建一个热力核材料知识中心，该中心可根据需要协助该行业。

This proposal recommends that the thermodynamic expertise of the principal investigator, Dr. Emily Corcoran, and the funding and support of CANDU Onwers Group (COG) be leveraged to assist and enhance the understanding and development of nuclear reactor materials while nurturing and encouraging willing talent in support of the Canadian nuclear industry initiatives. Further, Dr. Corcoran is partnered with national (Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, CNL) and international (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, CEA in France) collaborators that are providing technical staff and significant unleveraged financial support of her research program. The short-term goals of the work proposed in this application are to assist the ongoing work of the nuclear industry, namely, COG WP22236 - Qualification of Siloxane Coatings and the development of an international thermodynamic database for nuclear fuel (Thermodynamics of Advanced Fuels - International Database, TAF-ID). The long-term objective is to train Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) for employment in the Canadian nuclear industry and to create a centre of knowledge in thermodynamic nuclear materials, which can be called upon to assist the industry as required, as part of Professor Corcoran's research programs.
