 e capabilities to prepare and examine samples of irradiated materials to a
 ssess the effects of radiation damage and materials’ performance in nucl
 ear reactors.\nA recent extension has funded the addition of two new hot-c
 ells for mechanical testing of large\, irradiated samples\, and progress i
 s being made in the commissioning of robotic sample handling for the MRF
 ’s scientific equipment.\nThis webinar will provide an update on the cur
 rent capabilities available to the MRF’s users and funding opportunities
  to collaborate with the MRF\, as well as an overview of new capabilities 
 coming online in 2027. Use cases highlighting recent MRF experimental camp
 aigns will also be presented by invited speakers.\n\nWho should register\n
