NEUP CINR-25-34435: Novel Lightweight Material for Spent Nuclear Fuel Transportation

This project aims to model, design, prototype and test high-strength and cost-effective lightweight and low volume Composite Metal Foam (CMF) based impact limiters for spent nuclear fuel structures that meet U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission certification requirements and improve the safety and efficiency of such structures. The project will be completed in collaboration between the university and a small business span from the university and holding all rights to CMF.
