Biography

Kyle Gamble is a computational scientist in the Computational Mechanics and Materials department in Idaho National Laboratory's (INL) Nuclear Science and Technology (NS&T) directorate. Kyle's entire professional working career has been at INL focusing on the development of advanced modeling and simulation tools for nuclear reactor performance.  In this role he has been responsible for the development of numerous models in BISON in the areas of Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) behavior, Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATF), and internal mesh generation. He is also responsible for user support, code maintenance, and verification and validation.  From 2019 to 2024 he was the working group lead for light water reactor (LWR) fuels in the Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) fuels technical area. Dr. Gamble received his bachelor's degree from Queen's University in Canada, his Masters from the Royal Military College of Canada, and his Doctorate from the University of South Carolina.

Research Interests

I have spent my entire career developing the BISON fuel performance code. I enjoy solving scientific problems by connecting lower length scale models to the engineering scale.  I have an interest in supporting the nuclear industry in sustaining the current nuclear fleet in its pursuit of burnup extension. The development of advanced modeling and simulation techniques for design basis and beyond design basis accidents are of particular interest.
