PNNL

Since joining the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 1992, Dr. Senor has worked in a variety of nuclear-related materials science and technology areas. His work has focused on irradiation behavior evaluation, physical, mechanical and thermal property measurement, and manufacturing development of conventional and advanced nuclear materials. Examples include silicon carbides for fission and fusion reactor structural applications, tritium-producing burnable absorber rods for commercial pressurized water reactors, uranium–molybdenum fuels for high-performance research reactors, and materials for high-power proton accelerator beam-intercepting devices. He has participated in various aspects of irradiation testing and post-irradiation examination of materials and fuels irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor, Experimental Breeder Reactor-II, JOYO, Fast Flux Test Facility, High Flux Isotope Reactor, Petten High Flux Reactor, and Brookhaven LINAC Isotope Producer. Dr. Senor is presently the national technical lead for science and technology supporting the National Nuclear Security Administration Tritium Modernization program, the principal investigator for fusion solid breeder and vacuum permeator research at PNNL, and the principal investigator for post-irradiation examination of a variety of accelerator beam-intercepting device materials as part of the RaDIATE Collaboration. He has authored or co-authored over 300 journal articles, presentations, and technical reports in the open literature, holds two US patents, and has organized six international workshops and symposia.
