Ferndale-based REB Research & Consulting Co. received a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the federal Department of Energy to study advanced materials for nuclear power plants.
The grant will allow REB founder Robert Buxbaum to research new alloys, including a relative of aircraft titanium, that seem to offer greater strength and higher temperature oxidation resistance.
In the nuclear environment higher temperatures should allow reactors to burn more of their radioactive wastes to disposable ash, and should allow nuclear reactors to be decommissioned more easily at the end of their lives.
