Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan is ranked #1 in the nation and continues to build the leaders who will drive the world’s energy future.
NERS is home to eighteen laboratories, and several of our major facilities are on par with those you might find at a national lab. Take a tour of a few of our labs below or see our complete Labs and Facilities list.
NERS Prof. Xiaodong Sun gives a tour of the Thermal Hydraulics Laboratory (THL)—which has facilities in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory, the Climate and Space Research Building, and the Auxiliary Services Building.
NERS graduate students Noora Ba Sunbul, Abbas Johar Jinia, Ricardo Lopez Limus, and Leah Clark give a tour of the Detection for Nuclear Nonproliferation Laboratory (DNNL)—aka—the "Pozzi Lab."
Nick Jordan gives a tour of the Plasma, Pulsed Power, and Microwave Laboratory (PPML).
NERS Prof. Brendan Kochunas gives an overview of what it's like for his graduate students and a tour of his offices including the Nuclear Plant Simulation Laboratory (NPSL).
The High Field Science group at the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) is a world-leading group researching the science and applications of relativistic plasma.
The MIBL was created for the purpose of advancing our understanding of ion-solid interactions by providing unique and extensive facilities to support both research and development in the field. Researchers have available to them several instruments for conducting ion beam surface modification and ion beam surface analysis under a wide range of conditions.
The IMTL was established to provide a facility to conduct experimental research on neutron irradiated materials in aqueous environments. The IMTL consists of five refreshed autoclaves (Inconel & 316 Stainless Steel construction) that can be mounted in constant extension rate (CERT) or crack growth rate (CGR) configurations.
A diverse and multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in nuclear engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering whose research focuses on three broad areas advanced manufacturing and alloy development, radiation effects and characterization, and emerging technologies.
Learn More »Our research is focused on computational and experimental thermal-hydraulics and fluid-dynamics. In particular, we develop and apply high-resolution measurement techniques and we develop multi-physics, multi-scale computational frameworks to tackle complex thermofluids problems in engineering.
Learn More »The Radiation Materials Science Group is dedicated to understanding effect of irradiation on materials, with emphasis on, material issues related to the nuclear power industry.
