#SeeYourselfInNuclear: Austin Fleming

Austin Fleming is a research scientist at Idaho National Laboratory. He makes sensors that go into reactors to measure temperatures, pressures and strains to better understand the fuel and the surrounding behavior.

Austin work at INL’s High Temperature Test Laboratory, which is a unique facility for developing, fabricating and performing laboratory demonstrations of proposed new instrumentation designed to handle harsh environments, such as those seen inside nuclear reactors. Researchers develop instrumentation to enable investigation of behaviors and characteristics of advanced fuels and materials in environments that include high temperatures, high pressures and radiation fields.
