Bench testing of an early prototype pitch resonator WEC
This report describes a series of tests performed on a "pitch resonator'" concept for a wave energy converter. The overall testing campaign goals centered on risk reduction for the pitch resonator wave energy converter concept and model validation. Two modes of testing are captured in this report: one using a single degree of freedom test rig and one in which a six degree of freedom Stewart platform was employed.

WEC Irradiation Can Thermal Testing Report
With renewed interest for the next generation of small modular reactors and space-based nuclear reactors, metal hydrides have been a focus of research for moderating materials to reduce the need for highly enriched fuel to maintain small core sizes. Yttrium hydride (YH) is an attractive candidate for these metal hydrides due to its ability to retain hydrogen at elevated temperatures as well as the low neutron absorption cross section of yttrium metal. Given the necessity for reactors to operate at elevated temperatures for extended periods of time, understanding hydrogen retention in moderator channels in simulated operating thermal conditions is paramount in predicting reactor performance and the long-term stability of YH. Additionally, coating strategies on the moderator encapsulating will be explored to ascertain if it aids in retention of hydrogen within the capsule and moderator.
