Powerful Microscope in University Of Manchester Turns a New Leaf in Nuclear Research

By Will Soutter

The School of Materials has already done a remarkable number of studies in the field of graphene, the thinnest material in the world. Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov, the eminent Manchester scientists have been awarded Nobel Prize in 2010 for their remarkable study on graphene and its electrical property. The high-resolution S/TEM system comes handy to scientists to have a deep understanding of graphene and to come out with new findings about the material.

Professor Grace Burke, director of the Materials Performance Centre (MPC), University of Manchester assures that the entire civil nuclear power supply chain will be benefitted by the G2 80-200 microscope as it can check the reliability and maximum performance of materials used in generating nuclear power. The Titan microscope also helps in increasing the life-span and power of the alloys and rods that are used in the nuclear reactors.

The joint research being conducted by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC) and the MPC in the nuclear power can obtain an extensive knowledge of the corroding and irradiating properties of the materials used in the nuclear reactors with the help of the Titan microscope. This study helps in manufacturing materials that can withstand radiation and in extending the life of a nuclear plant.

Trisha Rice, FEI's Materials Science Business Unit vice president and general manager affirms that the induction of the new scanning microscope in their Electron Microscopy Centre will further the advancement of new material applications.
