Dr. Mitchell K. Meyer has extensive experience in fabrication, characterization, and evaluating the irradiation performance of nuclear fuels. Dr. Meyer received his Ph.D. in Ceramic Engineering from Iowa State University in 1995. His dissertation research was conducted in the areas were fabrication and testing of high-temperature ceramic and intermetallic materials.
Currently Dr. Meyer is serving as the National Technical Lead for RERTR (Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors) Fuel Development. In this position, he is responsible for technical and programmatic management of the U.S. very-high density, low enrichment (LEU) research reactor fuel development program, with the objective of developing new fuels that enable the LEU conversion of high-flux research reactors worldwide. Dr. Meyer’s group is also responsible for the fuel supply for LEU conversion of reactors worldwide which can be converted with currently available fuels. Meyer also serves as the U.S. Lead for GFR (Gas Fast Reactor) Fuel Development, and on the DOE AFCI (Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative) National Fuels Technical Working Group. Prior to this, Meyer served as ANL’s project scientist for the AFCI, responsible for scientific direction of transmuter fuel development, including design and development of fuel for transmutation systems, design of irradiation experiments, characterization of fuel specimens, and measurement of properties of minor actinide-bearing materials
