Nuclear Engineering; Nuclear Fuels Biography:
Doug Crawford was appointed Director of the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) Division in October 2019. Crawford leads strategic and administrative functions and ensures the TREAT operations team is equipped and enabled to meet mission objectives. Previously, he served as MFC Chief Scientist, responsible for compiling strategies to modernize MFC research capabilities to meet INL mission needs, fostering collaborations with nuclear universities and laboratories, and facilitating industrial partnerships to meet fuels and materials research and development needs. Crawford has also contributed to the Versatile Reactor Project addressing fuel cycle planning and fuel design. From 1990 to 2007 Crawford worked at Argonne National Laboratory-West and INL. In 2007 he joined GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy in Wilmington, NC, where he led engineering teams supporting boiling water reactor customers with fuel technology, reactor systems and components engineering, and reactor plant mechanical analysis. From 2016 to prior to rejoining INL, Crawford worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as reactor technology leader and GAIN deputy director.
Crawford’s subject matter expertise includes fast reactor and boiling water reactor fuel performance and design, fuel safety testing and licensing, fuel specification, technical leadership and issue resolution, and nuclear materials storage technology.
