Biography

Dr. Kurtz is a Laboratory Fellow in the Reactor Materials and Mechanical Design Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory where he has been a staff member since 1974. He has worked in several areas of materials science, specializing in the deformation and fracture of metals and alloys for nuclear power plant applications. He has been involved in a broad range basic and applied programs. During his early career he focused on structural materials performance in nuclear power reactor components including high-temperature properties of light-water reactor fuel cladding, methods to ameliorate environmentally-induced cracking in boiling water piping, structural integrity of steam generator tubing, and assessment of nondestructive inspection techniques for evaluating flaws in primary pressure boundary components. Presently he leads a large, multidisciplinary program to develop the scientific basis for advanced, radiation tolerant, low-activation materials for first-wall/blanket structures of fusion power plants. Dr. Kurtz directs technical activities in alloy development, performance of neutron irradiation experiments, post-irradiation evaluation of mechanical and physical properties, characterization of microstructure, and computer simulations to model and predict damage evolution.
