    Personal profile

    Biography

    Dr. Chase N. Taylor joined the Fusion Safety Program at Idaho National Laboratory in 2012. Dr. Taylor’s research areas focus on hydrogen isotope behavior in refractory metals, high temperature fission moderator materials, radiation interaction with materials, and materials characterization. Current research investigates tritium retention in neutron activated plasma facing components for magnetic fusion energy. He holds expertise in numerous material evaluation techniques, and during his time at INL has built up a surface science characterization laboratory at the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) laboratory. As an INL distinguished scientist, Dr. Taylor leads high impact projects including the nuclear testing of fusion blanket materials, neutron irradiation of tritium breeder materials, development of a forced convection molten PbLi loop to investigate tritium extraction, neutron irradiation and post-examination irradiation of high temperature metal hydride fission moderators, and numerous others.  Dr. Taylor sits on the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Fusion Technology Committee (FTC), and has served on the Executive Committee for the American Nuclear Society Fusion Energy Division, as well as a guest editor for the journal, Fusion Engineering and Design, as well as numerous national committees and international conference committees. Dr. Taylor obtained a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Idaho State University, and M.S. and Ph.D. from Purdue University in 2012 in nuclear engineering.
