NEF CDT students visiting facilities in the US

Between 9-16 September 2024, Cohort 3 from the Nuclear Energy Futures CDT visited Idaho National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with Director Mark Wenman and Manager Jon Tate.

The group of 19 visited both labs over two action-packed days which included a balance of talks and tours. Highlights included the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) that tests nuclear fuels and reactor materials; the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) which has the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the US and is used to study materials, physics and chemistry; and FRONTIER, the world’s fastest supercomputer with 1.1 exaflops of performance (and an absurdly large cooling system that is pumped from a separate building).

We would like to thank our collaborators for putting on such an amazing event for our researchers. We are pleased to report that all students survived the 07:30am starts.

Spot On Creative is a Northants-based creative team who have the hard-earned skills, expertise and industry knowledge that only come from having worked for years in advertising. It’s all managed by Lynne Dickens who has over 20 years’ experience in marketing communications, and ten years in website design and build, and creative team project management.

Lynne is also a qualified art historian and has some expertise in curating fine art exhibitions and producing all of the catalogues, posters and supporting material to create a successful event.

All the guys in our team have worked for one-man bands, SMEs and large blue-chip multinationals in just about every sector, field and industry. We can come up with great ideas, superb design and copy, and exceptional photography for anything from websites to email campaigns, branding to brochures – and everything in between.

And the beauty of Spot On Creative is that we’re big in creativity, experience and knowledge, but small in overheads and invoices. So we’re a much more sensible and affordable option for you than a larger advertising agency or marketing company.
