Kyle earned a Bachelors of Science in nuclear engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in December of 2016. During the summer of 2015 Kyle examined the Doppler Broadening utility and the burn-up functions of MCNP6, which will be used in future research into advanced reactor concepts. Currently he is examining the effects of radiation on the solubility of dissolved salts in nuclear waste stored at the Hanford and Savannah River sites. In addition to the solubility of particles in the waste, Kyle is examining the effects the multiphase composition of the waste has on the dissolution rate of each mineral particle phase in the waste tanks.
