Governor\u2019s Chair for Nuclear Materials<\/h3>\n
\n

Steve Zinkle aims to help build a better nuclear reactor. His focus is on developing high-performance, radiation-resistant materials for advanced nuclear fission and fusion energy applications.<\/p>\n

Zinkle is using ions and neutrons to explore the stability and thermal conductivity of certain fuels. He is also researching accident-tolerant fuel systems for reactors in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster in Japan.<\/p>\n

He holds a joint appointment in the UT Departments of Nuclear Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n
