Seminar: The Glenn T. Seaborg Institute at Idaho National Laboratory – Career Opportunities in Nuclear Research

Abstract

The presentation will describe career opportunities in nuclear research at The Glenn T. Seaborg Institute at Idaho National Laboratory. The group is assembling top-quality researchers to advance the fundamental understanding of the physics and chemistry of the actinide elements.

About the speaker

Don Wood is a senior technical advisor in Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Fuel Cycle Science and Technologies Program and is deputy director of the newly formed Glenn T. Seaborg Institute at INL. He earned his doctorate in analytical chemistry from University of Idaho, where his research focused on radiochemical techniques in liquid phase solvent extraction and neutron activation analysis. He first came to INL as a member of the INTEC research group headed by Terry Todd, PhD. That group focused on treatment of acidic high sodium radioactive liquid wastes and development of solvent extraction techniques, predictive modelling of complex waste treatment strategies and implementation of new centrifugal contactor technology for waste processing.
