The Role
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference Join our team and contribute to the future of fusion energy.
We offer excellent opportunities for motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate students studying at UK Universities to join our 812week summer placement scheme. The scheme is designed forstudents entering their penultimate or final year of studies with potential opportunities postgraduation.
Our scheme gives you a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of one of the most advanced sources of sustainable and clean energy. During your summer programme you will experience abroad range of diverse tasks work on real projects and gain invaluable experience within the fusion energy sector. UKAEA offers a nurturing and supportive community for you to gain some valuable work experience in a fascinating and rapidly evolving industry.
Overview
Project Title: Microstructural characterisation of advanced BRAFM steels for fusion
BRAFM steels are being investigated by UKAEA as a means to enhance the higher temperature operability of fusion structural components. This summer placement will provide valuable insights into the mechanisms strengthening BRAFM steels by studying creeptested BRAFM with and without boron addition. Understanding the interplay of time load and temperature on these steels and how the microstructure is evolving over time is crucial to optimising these materials. The successful summer placement will utilise advanced microscopy at the MRF to evaluate creep tested BRAFM steels.
