Here are five things to know about the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation and its cyclotron, found on the U of S campus.
Innovation Saskatchewan is investing $400,000 in the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (Fedoruk Centre) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) to support and expand nuclear research in the province.
Saskatchewan nuclear engineering professor, Dr. Esam Hussein (PhD) is the new chair of the board for the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (Fedoruk Centre) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) received $900,000 to explore new and more efficient uranium-based fuels for small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Previously, Dr. Szpunar (PhD) led two projects funded by the Fedoruk Centre, for research on accident-tolerant fuels for SMRs and CANDU reactors, as well as the embrittlement of nickel-based alloys in reactor core components.
Saskatchewan boasts a unique research landscape unlike any other province in Canada. World-class national and provincial research institutes are neighbours with research-focused universities and Innovation Saskatchewan’s research and technology parks, creating a thriving and collaborative ecosystem. Within this epicentre of innovation sits the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (Fedoruk Centre), one of six major research organizations funded by Innovation Saskatchewan.
