A delegation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, headed by Mr. Sayabek Sakhiyev, Director General, visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT is one of the world's leading centers of science and technology.
During the visit, INP representatives were introduced to the research infrastructure and current projects at the MITR (MIT Reactor) research reactor. Prospects for extension of cooperation in the field of nuclear technologies, radiation testing and new materials were also discussed during the visit.
Currently, INP and MIT are collaborating on joint projects in the field of radiation materials science, which is a key area for the development of nuclear technologies and thermonuclear energy.
The visit also included interviews with MIT master's students. Based on the interview results, one student from MIT will undertake a summer research internship at the Laboratory of Radiation Materials Science of INP. This is a new step in the development of cooperation and training of young specialists.
