1.  Researched the “Flooding” phenomenon that occurs during countercurrent flow  Mentor: Dr. Karen Vierow  Dr. Isaac Choutapalli  Graduate genius: Nikki Williams

3. The goal of engineering is to keep the public safe and never have another accident like these.

4.  NRC contacted Dr. Vierow; Can the tubes in the steam generator rupture during a LOCA?  Research gave them usable data; Dr. Vierow asked a question, What are the events in the surge line of the pressurizer during a LOCA?  DOE funded research to ascertain the conditions under which flooding occurs during countercurrent flow.

6. A fuel pellet this size has the power of about a ton of coal
