The R.E. Jervis Award is provided by the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) and recognizes excellence in research and development carried out by a full time graduate student in nuclear engineering or related fields. It is awarded once a year. Congratulations to our PhD candidate Youn Gyeong (Jennifer) Shin for winning this prestigious prize.
Jennifer’s thesis work involves studying the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel under gamma radiation, in relation to the design of the Canadian container for spent nuclear fuel disposal.
