Picture receiving certificate from Jim Rushton

Susan King attends University of Tennessee and is majoring Nuclear Engineering. She plans to graduate in Dec 2005 with a B.S. degree in the same field. From the hometown of Johnson City, Tennessee, Susan has been in Knoxville for almost 5 years and this is her first time working at the lab but she has visited ORNL in the past. She has always liked science and math and physics so she decided to focus on engineering. She is very interested in doing graduate school work in nuclear materials or criticality safety so this project is a good stepping stone into graduate research ideas. She is working on a database of materials properties that are going to be considered in a new reactor vessel design. She loves to camp and be outside, swim, watch movies, play softball, and read when she’s away from the lab.
