Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) doctoral student Cody Dennett cannot measure firsthand the powerful pummeling taken by structural parts in the heart of working nuclear reactors. Instead, he has developed novel experimental methods to reveal in real-time, high-resolution detail the destructive impact of radiation on reactor components.
