Dave Morton is a Consultant Engineer at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory with over three decades of experience in material environmental degradation. He is an expert in stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and the performance of material environmental assisted cracking tests. Dave began attending and submitting papers to the Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Systems Conference in 1997 and has been on the conference organizational committee for over a decade.
Dr. George A. Young is a Fellow Scientist at Kairos Power, where he leads the testing and qualification of metallic materials for use in advanced reactor systems. He has expertise in environmentally assisted cracking, welding & fabrication, nuclear materials, and physical & mechanical metallurgy. George has attended the Environmental Degradation conference since 1997 as an Author, Speaker, and Session Chair.
Dr. Mychailo Toloczko is a scientist at PNNL with more than 30 years of experience evaluating radiation effects on structural materials for nuclear reactor core structural components and 20 years of experience evaluating stress corrosion cracking behavior of engineering alloys for nuclear systems. His primary expertise is performing challenging mechanical and environmental testing and linking the observed behavior to microstructure to aid in identifying material and environment factors affecting component lifetime and to devise improved alloys. He has been attending and contributing to the Environmental Degradation conference since 2007.
