Congratulations to our PhD candidate Mi Li who is the recipient of a 2020 Roy G. Post Foundation Scholarship. The Roy G. Post Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to students to develop careers in the safe management of nuclear materials and to participate in the WM Conference.
Mi’s project is supported by Ontario Power Generation. The main objective of her PhD project is to address a corrosion issue in one of the Pickering nuclear reactors. The project focuses on the gamma-radiation-induced galvanic corrosion of dissimilar carbon steel and stainless steel welds which are commonly used as the supporting structure materials for nuclear reactors.
