奨励賞

This award is given to a student at the students poster session, Atomic Energy Society of JAPAN, Spring 2023 on Komaba Campus.

〈About awarded research〉

高温ガス炉通常運転時におけるスリーブレスSiC母材燃料コンパクトの酸化挙動

Summary: Application of SiC ceramics for high-temperature conditions is strongly desired over the decades. The present work has validated the flow rate effect on SiC dry oxidation kinetics. To clearly explain the discovered phenomenon, a new kinetic model is proposed. We hope this work will fill the knowledge-gaps of the field.

〈Your impression & future plan〉

I am really pleased to win such an honorable award. I would like to show more progress and achievements in the future work. Thank you.
