PhD student, graduate assistant
Iowa State University

2 PhD positions in modeling the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity

2 PhD positions are available immediately in the Engineering Mechanics program in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Iowa State University in the Prof. Valery Levitas’ group (http://www.aere.iastate.edu/directory/?user_page=vlevitas ) to perform theoretical and computational parts of work on NSF- and ARO-funded projects on the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity in various metals, ceramics, and semiconductors. Phase-field or macroscale simulations using FEM are of interest. Strong collaboration with two postdocs from the same group, who perform in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities at Argonne National Laboratory, and an internship at Argonne National Laboratory are expected. MS degree is required.

Please send vita that includes education, list of relevant classes,

External contamination of a worker beyond the annual statutory limit to the skin

Print View Posted on: 05 August 2025

Event Date: 09 June 2025 Event Type: Power Reactor Event Location: France, CATTENOM-3 INES Rating: 2 (Final)

On 12 June 2025, the operator of the Cattenom nuclear power plant reported a significant radiation protection event concerning the exceeding of an annual individual dose limit by an EDF contractor.
On 9 June 2025, this contractor was installing lead matting in reactor building 3, which was shut down for partial inspection. During the check carried out at the exit of the controlled area, skin contamination was detected on the contractor’s cheek. The worker was immediately taken into care and the radioactive particle causing the contamination was removed.
The occupational physician assessed the dose received, taking into account the worker’s activities within the reactor building. This assessment showed that the dose received by the worker’s cheek exceeded the regulatory limit for the equivalent skin dose (500 mSv).
As soon as the contamination was discovered, the operator took action to identify its source. However, radiological checks carried out in the premises where the agent was present
