About
Dr. Matt Keene is a leading researcher in the field of nuclear energy infrastructure, with a primary focus on the robotic inspection and long-term stewardship of spent nuclear fuel. His most notable contribution lies in the development of advanced remote crawling systems designed for the in-service inspection of dry storage canisters—a critical need for the safe, extended storage of nuclear waste. Keene’s work directly addresses the challenge of aging U.S. nuclear infrastructure, creating robotic technologies that can navigate tight, high-radiation environments to perform periodic structural examinations. While his key publication, "In-Service Inspection of Extended Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, Part I: Crawler Technology Development," has garnered 2 citations, its impact is measured by its foundational role in a multi-part series that bridges robotics and nuclear safety. This research is pivotal for enabling the long-term viability of interim dry storage systems, ensuring that canisters remain intact for decades. Keene’s engineering solutions are not merely academic; they are practical tools that support regulatory compliance and public safety in the nuclear sector.
