WASHINGTON - Mississippi State University's Institute for Clean Energy Technology (ICET) research center personnel showcased its nuclear filtration technology with bipartisan members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
ICET manages a nuclear containment ventilation testing program that leads the nation in research to ensure that filter and confinement systems at facilities with radioactive materials are effective and pose minimum risk of accidental exposure to workers, the public and the environment.
Working with the Department of Energy and filter manufacturers, ICET is currently the only test program of its kind with a fully certified nuclear quality assurance program and provides data that shapes industry standards.
ICET’s filter testing has resulted in improved designs that have been used in numerous facilities containing radioactive materials.
ICET’s test beds allow researchers to safely replicate accident conditions at nuclear facilities and evaluate how filters perform in those settings.
The technology showcase was hosted by the U.S. House Nuclear Cleanup Caucus in conjunction with the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management. (MSU 06/02/23) www.icet.msstate.edu.
